Visitor & Driver Tips

To ensure a smooth experience, we highly recommend pre-booking your spot using a parking app, especially during major events at the Capital One Arena, as the facility can reach capacity quickly. Always check your GPS for the specific entry lane to avoid missing the turn in the dense city traffic. If attending an event, aim to arrive at least 60 minutes prior to the start time to bypass the pre-event rush and avoid surge pricing patterns.
