Visitor & Driver Tips

During sold-out events and arena concerts at MVP Arena, downtown traffic along South Pearl and State Street builds up quickly; plan to arrive at least 45 to 60 minutes prior to showtime to ensure quick parking and easy walking. Keep your license plate number handy when using self-service payment terminals or mobile parking applications. When leaving after large events, consider utilizing State Street down toward Broadway to merge onto I-787 north or south rather than navigating through South Pearl Street congestion.
