Visitor & Driver Tips
To ensure a stress-free experience, consider these expert tips. During major stadium events, the Pink Lot operates on a high-demand basis; arriving at least 90 minutes before kickoff or event start times is highly recommended to secure a spot and avoid bottlenecking. While the lot offers great capacity, event-day pricing may be in effect, so please have your payment method ready. We advise drivers to use GPS apps like Waze for real-time traffic updates when approaching the area, as local road closures may be implemented by police during large-scale events at the nearby stadiums.
