Getting out

  1. Ride VIA Park & Ride. Buses take you back to the Crossroads and Brooks Park & Ride lots, and you skip downtown traffic.
  2. Hang in the lot. Permit lots stay open 1 hour after the game, so pack up slowly and let the roads clear.
  3. Walk to Lot D for rideshare. That's the official pick-up spot, on Tower of the Americas Way.

Skip this: Race for Cherry St at the gun. You and every other permit holder in Lots B and C.
