FanProof verdictAt Meridian Centre, the North Entrance by the box office is the accessible pickup and drop-off point. On-site accessible spaces fill quickly; the venue recommends Carlisle Street Garage as an alternative. Bring only a soft-sided bag up to 12 × 12 × 12 inches; oversized bags must go back to your vehicle.
