My Recommendation on Parking + Experience with SpotHero

I’ve been using SpotHero for years to save money on parking when I travel to different venues. SpotHero has unofficial parking options that are bit outside where the venue is, which is why the price is so much cheaper than what is next to the arena. From my experience, I tend to save about 30% on parking when I use this service overpaying to park directly next to the arena. If you are looking for ways to save money and don’t mind walking ten minutes to the arena, consider using this service above.

 

Also, my other tip is to reserve parking that is a few blocks away from the arena, if possible. I recommend doing this because there can be an event next-door, which can cause serious traffic congestion on the roads. By parking a few blocks away, you don’t have to worry about that issue.
