Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before showtime. Early arrival helps you secure better parking, breeze through security screening, and grab concessions without missing a moment of the action.

If you’re driving, consider campus parking patterns: event parking generally runs $10–$15, and some campus areas may be free after 5 PM and on weekends. Lots and garages close to the main entrance on Hampton Blvd fill first, so arriving early makes a difference. If you’re using public transit, check HRT bus schedules in advance; the nearest light rail station is about 2 miles away, so plan for a short rideshare or walk from there.
