Parking At A Glance

Parking difficulty

Multiple downtown decks; event-dependent rates and availability

What to do
Match parking to the building and consider advance purchase through the official parking page. Rates and space availability vary with concurrent events.
Best option
The venue recommends central Red Deck, whose Inclement Weather Bridge reaches Building B. Green Deck is closest to A; Blue and Yellow lots are closest to C.
Avoid
Orange Deck is near B but has no direct building entry. Do not assume every deck serves the same entrance or that the loading/marshalling yard is ordinary event parking.

Inside the Venue At A Glance

01

Mixed

Choose the building

Choose the building before parking: the owner recommends central Red Deck for many visits, Green near A, and Blue or Yellow near C. All GWCC rideshare uses the Building C bus lane on Northside Drive.

Mixed

Event-specific layout

The current owner booklet shows permanent rooms and building connections. Exhibit-hall partitions, ballroom arrangements and temporary seats depend on the organizer; a room capacity is not an assigned seat or current ticket availability.

Positive

Plan assistance

The owner FAQ lists first-come manual wheelchair loans at information desks in Buildings A, B and C. Contact the venue in advance when assistance affects your visit; a loan cannot be guaranteed.
