Parking

Park Smart! is a detailed parking plan created by the Saint Paul RiverCentre Authority. It is an intricate system designed to direct patrons of Xcel Energy Center to alternate routes around Kellogg Boulevard and to the most convenient parking structures for events in Saint Paul.  

Tips to ParkSmart!

• Look for parking as soon as you enter downtown
• Hop on the bus
• Carpool
• Get the latest traffic reports at www.dot.state.mn.us/tmc/trafficinfo
• Check the latest weather reports before you hit the road

Parking Ramps

ParkSmart! is intended to help visitors find other available parking downtown. This “wayfinder” system, consisting of 46 static and 10 electronic signs, will guide motorists to available parking and give up-to-the-minute information on how many spots are still available at participating ramps and lots.  Participating ramps and lots include: United Hospital Gold Ramp, United Hospital Parking Lot, Cleveland Circle Parking Lot, RiverCentre Ramp, Plaza Parking Lot, Landmark Ramp, Lowry Ramp, Victory Ramp and Crowne Plaza Ramp.

Xcel Energy Center is serviced by two parking ramps (RiverCentre and Kellogg) directly connected to the complex.  Please keep in mind that the RiverCentre and Kellogg parking ramps fill up early and alternate plans should be made for entering the city, as well as finding parking during events. There are more than 50 parking ramps and lots within a brief walk of Xcel Energy Center.  Additional information on downtown parking can be found at  www.SaintPaulParking.com.
