TRANSPORTATION AND PARKING

PNC Arena has VIP parking lots located right outside the main entrance that are exclusively reserved for suite guests with parking passes. The easiest way to access these lots are through Gate D off Trinity Road. Additional cash lots are located around the arena with rates typically between $20-$40 per car.
