There are over 3,000 parking spaces in a three block radius of the facility. These spaces are available on a first come, first serve basis. We encourage exhibitors and attendees to use the public parking facilities, so that it does not impact the limited residential parking. There are also approximately 100 metered parking spaces within close proximity to the facility.  Parking signs are posted indicating that the spaces are for two-hour parking from 7:00am - 6:30pm daily.  View the Parking Map
