Visitor & Driver Tips
To ensure a hassle-free visit, have your license plate number and payment method ready upon arrival to register immediately via the posted AirGarage signage. During Utah Jazz home games and sellout arena concerts, spaces can fill up rapidly; aim to arrive 45 to 60 minutes prior to event tip-off to secure a convenient space. If you plan to extend your stay while dining at The Gateway, you can conveniently extend your parking session remotely directly from your smartphone.
