Parking At A Glance

What to do
The dedicated parking page currently lists $10 plus taxes/fees in advance or $15 cash at the lot entrance, subject to availability. Its FAQ still says $10 at the gate and notes some events may be free. Use your exact event and dedicated parking page, and bring cash if paying on arrival.
Best option
Purchase an advance pass through your event or the box office when offered. Accessible parking is in Lot B at the front of Berglund Center, with ramps on the plaza between the Coliseum and Performing Arts Theatre and beside the Special Events Center. Confirm a suitable route before traveling.
Avoid
Do not assume a shuttle runs for every show. The owner uses Elmwood Park Garage as an overflow option for larger sold-out lots and sometimes Church Avenue Garage; call 540-853-5483 or check the event first. Garage charges may be separate, and free shuttles do not make downtown parking free.

Inside the venuePayment, water and the atmosphere

Payment

Concession stands are cashless and accept debit/credit cards under the owner’s posted policy effective July 1, 2024. Parking is different: the dedicated parking page lists $15 cash at the gate or an advance online/box-office pass. Do not apply the concessions rule to parking.

Water & drinks

Outside food/drinks and glass, metal or plastic containers, including cans, bottles and flasks, are prohibited. The reviewed rules give no general empty-bottle exception. No re-entry is allowed; arrange medical needs in advance rather than planning to leave and return.

The experience

  • Best for: Rail Yard Dawgs hockey and arena concerts or family shows with different floor arrangements. Compare the current owner-linked hockey chart and existing basketball event example with the configuration sold for your actual ticket.
  • Watch out for: Purchase designated accessible seating before arrival; the owner cannot guarantee relocation from a regular seat. Bags must be clear within the published limit, re-entry is prohibited, and venue concessions are cashless even though on-site parking requires cash.
