ENT CENTER PARKING RECOMMENDATIONS

1. Arrive early! Typically, the Ent Center is open at least 2 hours prior to the start of your event. Arriving early will allow you more time to find a parking spot and give you more time to enjoy our gorgeous lobby spaces.
2. Carpool! Many patrons attend events with friends and family. Carpooling will ensure that you all arrive at the same time and don’t miss the beginning of an event.
3. Use lot 176 as a drop off/loading zone.
