Park Smart!

Xcel Energy Center suggests that patrons of the facility’s events this summer should refer to the ParkSmart Parking Guide PDF, designed by the Saint Paul RiverCentre Authority and Saint Paul Arena Company.

Park Smart!, a detailed parking plan created by the Saint Paul RiverCentre Authority, is an intricate system designed to direct patrons of the Xcel Energy Center to alternate routes around Kellogg Boulevard and to the most convenient parking structures for events. The Xcel Energy Center is located in downtown Saint Paul at the intersection of Kellogg Boulevard and West Seventh Street.
