Heading to a Summer Concert at the Xcel Energy Center, plan ahead to Park near the Xcel Energy Center

Parking ramps like this one can be found near the Xcel Energy Center
Heading to a Summer Concert at the Xcel Energy Center? You will have to plan ahead if you want to park near the Xcel Energy Center. Parking near the Xcel Energy Center is less about getting to the Xcel Energy Center and more about leaving the Xcel Energy Center. Parking near the Xcel Energy Center means parking in city ramps and surface lots, it also means walking. So my advice is, instead of thinking how close to the Xcel Energy Center can I park... think about where you will want to leave downtown St. Paul at. If you are going to drive into St. Paul on W 7th think about parking a little farther away to avoid the traffic after an Xcel Energy Center event. If you are leaving on 94W you may want to park in a parking ramp off of Kellogg. No matter where you are going, parking near the Xcel Energy Center is better if you plan ahead!
