Click to view a Minneapolis Convention Center parking map. \nConvention Center Ramp (above ground parking) – 3rd Avenue South (RECOMMENDED) \nThis ramp is nearest to the Auditorium performance venue; however\, the ramp is not skyway accessible and there is no drop-off available at the East entrance to the Minneapolis Convention Center (MCC). To get to the Auditorium\, walk across 3rd Avenue South and use the outside entrance to the MCC. \nPlaza Municipal Ramp (underground parking) – 2nd Avenue & 12th Street \nThis ramp is nearest to the main entrance and drop-off area of the MCC. Exit the ramp and cross Grant Street directly to the MCC main entrance. The Auditorium performance venue is just a short walk from the entrance– proceed straight ahead as you enter the building. The ramp is skyway accessible; however\, please note the skyway route does require additional walk time. \n  \n                 \nTHANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS\n \n
