Visitor & Driver Tips
For the best experience, we recommend pre-booking your spot online to lock in a guaranteed space, especially on event nights when local demand spikes. Always check your GPS for the specific entry lane on L St NW to avoid missing turns in one-way traffic zones. If arriving for a sellout event, aim to reach the facility at least 60 minutes before the scheduled start time to avoid congestion at the pay stations and exit ramps.
