23,000 fans. One stadium. A 7 pm first serve. Here is what that looks like from the parking operation side.
Traffic begins arriving 3 hours before the first serve. The peak inbound volume — roughly 1,800 vehicles in a single 15-minute window — hits at approximately T-90 minutes. Our operations center pre-positions attendants, adjusts dynamic pricing to accelerate fill-rate in overflow lots, and monitors real-time occupancy across all facilities via our dashboard.
At a typical Grand Slam night session managed by Premium Parking: 6,200 vehicles processed at entry, 99.4 % via LPR touchless lanes; average entry lane transaction time of 4.2 seconds; 14 lots active across the venue campus; 0 major incidents recorded in the most recent season; and an average fan arrival-to-seat time of 11 minutes.
The post-match window is the stress test. 6,200 vehicles want to leave within 45 minutes. Our staggered lot-release algorithm, combined with real-time integration with the venue's traffic management system, consistently achieves 85 % lot clearance within 35 minutes of the final point — a benchmark we set for ourselves after the first year and have hit every session since.
