The Columbus Civic Center has a big parking area around the arena so that most people can find a spot pretty close by. Parking can fill up fast before big games or big concerts, so lots of folks head over early to avoid the rush and traffic jams nearby. Some local fans suggest aiming to arrive well before the doors open if you’re worried about finding a good spot. There are also apps and services that let you rent a private driveway or space nearby if official parking looks packed. Most official lots are easy to walk from and you’ll see signs or staff directing cars when a big event is about to start. Just remember, since the venue is cashless you’ll need a card or digital pay method if there’s a parking fee.
