Driving Directions and Parking
Please note that there has been major road construction in this area that just opened this summer and older GPS maps may not reflect these changes. The interstates are fairly well marked with signs to the Mid America Center.
There are literally thousands of parking spaces in this area. The best places to park would be in the hotel parking if you are staying there or in Parking Lot D. The best entrance to use is the covered entrance from the hotel or the main Convention Center Entrance.
