Visitor & Driver Tips
For the most convenient experience, we highly recommend booking your space in advance via mobile apps like SpotHero or ParkMobile to guarantee availability, especially on event days. Be aware of the strict vehicle size limitations; if you arrive in a large SUV or truck, you will likely be turned away. For commuters, take advantage of the early-bird/commuter rates, which typically require arrival between 6:00 AM and 8:00 AM. Always ensure your license plate information is accurate in your booking to facilitate smooth entry and valet retrieval.
