Visitor & Driver Tips
To ensure a stress-free parking experience, we recommend booking your space in advance via mobile apps during event days to bypass potential sellouts and benefit from pre-paid rates. On game days, allow for extra arrival time to navigate local pedestrian traffic. Always keep your digital permit or QR code accessible upon entry. For GPS navigation, ensure your destination is set to the Q Street entrance to avoid confusion with surrounding neighborhood one-way traffic patterns.
