About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated in the center of Downtown Evansville, the 111 Main St Garage offers multi-level covered parking for professionals, commuters, and weekend visitors. The parking structure provides reliable protection against regional weather conditions, shielding vehicles from summer heat and winter snow. The garage features standard-width parking bays, well-maintained driving lanes, and clearly marked directional signage across all deck levels. Most passenger vehicles—including sedans, crossovers, station wagons, and standard-sized SUVs—can easily navigate the interior ramps and parking spaces. Drivers operating oversized vehicles, lifted 4x4 trucks, commercial utility vans, or vehicles equipped with roof racks and cargo carriers should check posted entrance clearance signs before entry, as clearance is typical of standard multi-story urban garages (generally around 6\'8\" to 7\'0\").

The garage allows for swift departures following arena games or theatre shows, bypassing primary post-event pedestrian corridors.

When attending high-profile events at the Ford Center or Victory Theatre, aim to arrive 30 to 45 minutes prior to start time to secure a preferred parking level and avoid queue delays at entry gates. Take note of your assigned floor number and nearest stairwell or elevator bank before heading out. Keep your parking ticket or digital validation handy for quick payment at the walk-up pay stations before returning to your vehicle to facilitate an effortless exit.
