Parking & Package Pick Up
We recommend using the Spot Hero (www.SpotHero.com) app on your phone to find up-to-the-minute parking availability. The app allows you to reserve days in advance. Meanwhile, the parking options listed below may be cheaper than Spot Hero.
The closest parking garage is attached to the Baird Center but we do not recommend it due to its high cost. However we can offer a 15% discount from their high rates which change daily based on demand.
BUT if you can walk 5~8 minutes then there are much cheaper options in the below list, including $8 for 12 hours.
