Visitor & Driver Tips
For those attending high-attendance events, we strongly recommend booking your spot in advance through the SP+ or affiliated parking apps to guarantee availability. Be mindful of potential event-day surge pricing; arriving at least 60 to 90 minutes before scheduled event start times can help you avoid traffic congestion on Raymond Blvd. Always save your digital parking pass or keep your physical ticket in a secure location, and ensure your vehicle is locked with no valuables left in plain sight to maximize security.
