About this Location

Facility Overview

The 1111 Olive St Parking lot is a conveniently situated open-air surface parking facility in the bustling core of Downtown St. Louis, Missouri. Positioned along Olive Street between North 11th Street and North Tucker Boulevard, this lot offers quick drive-in access and straightforward vehicle circulation without the tight maneuvering often found in multi-level garages.

Visitor & Driver Tips

To ensure a smooth parking experience, keep these helpful tips in mind:

Event Day Pricing & Demand: During Blues home games, major concerts at Enterprise Center or Stifel Theatre, and high-profile conventions, downtown parking rates may shift to special event flat fees. Arriving 45 to 60 minutes prior to showtime is recommended to beat peak traffic.
Pay-by-Plate Process: Have your vehicle license plate number memorized or photographed on your smartphone before walking over to the pay station or launching a mobile payment app.
Post-Event Departure: To avoid stadium-area logjams after events, utilize Tucker Boulevard or 11th Street for swift access to major highway ramps avoiding congested surface streets.
