Visitor & Driver Tips
To ensure a smooth experience, we recommend arriving at least 60 to 90 minutes before the start of major stadium events to avoid peak traffic surges. Always keep your payment confirmation accessible if you choose to pre-book, as event-day pricing may vary. We suggest using GPS apps like Waze or Google Maps, as local traffic patterns on Flower Street can shift due to ongoing city construction or event-specific lane closures.
