PARKING
Check the McCormick website for parking information:
www.mccormickplace.com/maps_direct/maps_dir.html
Quoted from said website:
"Getting to McCormick Place is easy and convenient. There are two main parking lots on the McCormick Place campus. All are managed by Standard Parking and are in close proximity and walking distance to our convention complex. Events in Lakeside Center and Arie Crown Theater designate Lot C as the primary parking location, while events in the North, South and West Buildings designate Lot A garage as the primary parking location.
Lot C is an underground garage with 1,900 parking spaces and is located on Ft. Dearborn Drive, adjacent to the Lakeside Center. Lot A is a six level garage and is located directly across from the Grand Concourse/Gate 4. Covered walkways from Lot A leading directly into McCormick Place and the Hyatt Regency McCormick Place Hotel also provide added convenience.
The parking rate is currently at $16. This is a flat fee regardless of the amount of time the vehicle is parked. Parking fees can be paid by cash or credit card; VISA, MasterCard and American Express are accepted. Parking lots are open throughout event hours. Overnight parking is not available."
