General Rules
Garage will be open any day we have an event taking place.

When P2 fills up, the P1 level will be made accessible from inside the garage.
The P1 gates are scheduled to be opened when we have events in attendance of 500 or more at ingress.
Attendants are scheduled to work if we anticipate more than 50 cars being in the garage at any one time. The number of attendants scheduled by parking contractor is based on daily events ingress and egress attendance. Attendants will remain until 50 public vehicles or less are in the parking garage. In a Pay At Entry (PAE) situation, attendants will remain until most of the ingress attendance has arrived. When they leave, they notify DPS of their departure.
Pay at entry (PAE) may also occur during the day to help with expediting egress. The Parking and Dock Manager will determine pay at entry days. Pay at entry may occur one hour to 90 minutes prior to event start times. Standard rate is $15.
