Parking At A Glance

What to do
Laclede Garage is at 3642 Laclede Avenue, and the Fred Weber VIP Lot is at 1 S. Compton Avenue. Garage payments are cashless by major credit/debit card. Accessible Olive/Compton spaces use the Olive Street entrance and remain subject to availability.
Best option
For Chaifetz general Olive/Compton parking, use 230 N. Compton Avenue and enter from Compton. Premium parking uses 3338 Olive Street and the Olive entrance; the premium product guarantees first-floor placement. Use the option offered for your actual event.
Avoid
Not every Chaifetz garage opens for every event, and ordinary spaces depend on availability at arrival. Follow the address and entrance for the parking product you bought; the Gate C accessible drop-off does not itself reserve a parking space.
