Visitor & Driver Tips
To ensure a seamless experience, we recommend arriving at least 60-90 minutes before major events to avoid peak traffic congestion. During high-attendance nights, be mindful of potential event-day surge pricing; booking in advance through official mobile apps is highly recommended to guarantee your spot and lock in the best rates. When using your GPS, ensure you are directed to the main entrance on Lafayette Street to avoid residential one-way streets, and always keep your parking receipt or digital confirmation handy for a quick exit.
