Visitor & Driver Tips
To ensure the smoothest experience, we highly recommend pre-booking your spot through apps like SpotHero or ParkMobile; this not only guarantees your space during high-attendance event days but also simplifies your entry via license plate recognition. Be mindful of the 6'8" height restriction, and always verify that your license plate number on your reservation perfectly matches your vehicle to avoid any potential entry delays or ticketing issues. We suggest arriving at least 30–45 minutes prior to the start of major events to navigate downtown traffic and settle into your spot comfortably.
