Visitor & Driver Tips

During the Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinement Week in early August and major stadium concerts, local traffic swells considerably. Drivers are strongly encouraged to purchase parking passes in advance through the official Hall of Fame Village or partnering parking platforms to guarantee entry. Arrive at least 60 to 90 minutes prior to kickoff or showtime to avoid entry queues along 18th Street NW. When exiting post-event, follow guidance from local law enforcement and traffic marshals, who frequently direct vehicles directly toward Interstate 77 on-ramps to expedite regional departure flow.
