Parking information for events in the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center

General Parking Information
Convenient parking is located in the Stadium Drive Garage at an hourly rate of $3.00/hr for the first hour with a $15.00 maximum Monday-Friday and a $5 maximum Saturday and Sunday, payable by either cash or credit card at one of the new digital pay stations. During large scale events at the Performing Arts Center, the entrance across from the center will be staffed by a parking attendant in order to alleviate lines at the pay stations.

If this is the case, typically a parking attendant will advise you of other visitor parking options on campus.
