Visitor & Driver Tips

When heading to major events at the XL Center or downtown weekend festivals, aim to arrive 45 to 60 minutes prior to showtime or puck drop to beat high vehicle volumes along Asylum Street. Consider using mobile parking apps to reserve your space in advance and lock in standard tariffs, as on-site rates can shift during special arena events. After events conclude, utilize Ann Uccello or High Street toward I-84 west or Columbus Boulevard toward I-91 for the fastest highway departure.
