Visitor & Driver Tips

During matchdays at CITYPARK or major concerts at Enterprise Center, downtown parking fills quickly; planning your arrival 45 to 60 minutes prior to kickoff or showtime is strongly recommended. Take note of your license plate number before leaving your vehicle, as payments are typically validated via mobile app or automated pay station by entering plate details. When departing after sellout events, navigating north toward Cass Avenue or Cole Street before linking to regional highways can help you bypass heavy congestion heading toward Market Street and I-64.
