Parking At A Glance

Parking difficulty

Free section-matched color lots with one-way traffic controls

What to do
Find the seat section on the color-coded map first, then approach the recommended lot and ticket gate. Parking location controls the outbound route after the race.
Best option
Use free day parking in the recommended color: Blue for many even sections, Red for lower-number sections, Green for odd sections 27-41, and Sunday-only Yellow for Turn 1 odd sections 43-69.
Avoid
Do not cross Brooklyn Highway outside the pedestrian bridge from Green Lot, and do not assume the post-race route can be changed after parking.

Inside the Venue At A Glance

01

Mixed

Seat section chooses the lot color

Michigan's official map joins the seat, gate, lot, and tram decision. Make that four-part match before choosing the highway approach.

02

Mixed

Yellow parking is Sunday-only

Sections 43-69 must use Gate A. Other section groups have suggested gates tied to Blue, Red, Green, or Yellow parking, reducing the need to circle the long concourse.

03

Positive

Parking location sets the exit route

Free trams and ADA carts operate around the property, but service can stop in severe weather and becomes limited at peak times. The cashless track has no ATMs.
