Parking At A Glance

Parking difficulty

$10 onsite parking, first come; larger vehicles may cost more

What to do
Use the Coliseum/PAC lots off Montague Avenue and International Boulevard and follow attendants. The current owner page lists $10 per car, cash or card, with first-come availability and possible higher rates for larger vehicles.
Best option
Use the event’s parking advisory and staff-directed lot. Accessible spaces require the appropriate hang tag or marked plate and are first come; they do not become reserved simply because they appear on the complex map.
Avoid
The owner sells parking only onsite and does not sell advance online passes or third-party parking products. Do not buy a listing assuming it is a venue-issued parking pass. Verify the event’s advisory and arrange the return route before the no-re-entry boundary.
