A hotel in the Historic Third Ward with Tre Rivali restaurant and The Outsider rooftop bar on site. The hotel puts Fiserv Forum about 0.8 miles away, roughly a 15-minute walk.
The hotel’s site publishes no parking rate, so call ahead. If you’d rather not walk, take a rideshare or an MCTS bus.
Getting to the game
Walk from the Kimpton Journeyman, which puts the arena about a 15-minute walk away, take a rideshare to the Juneau Avenue pickup and drop-off, or ride one of the MCTS routes the transit agency lists for Fiserv Forum and walk the last stretch.
Getting back
Walk back, book a Lyft from the Juneau Avenue pickup, or catch a bus back. Check the last bus for your date in the MCTS trip planner before the game.
The shuttle serves the airport, not the arena. Plan your own drive or rideshare downtown and back.
Getting to the game
Drive downtown and park in the 5th Street, Highland, Isaac’s Garage or Brewery structure, or take MCTS Route 80 from the airport’s Ticketing curb toward downtown.
Getting back
Walk back to your structure and drive back, or take a rideshare; check Route 80’s last trip for your date before the game.
Walk to Fiserv Forum at 1111 Vel R. Phillips Avenue. Bags smaller than 10 × 6 × 2 inches, or clear bags smaller than 14 × 14 × 6 inches, can use any entrance.
Getting back
Walk back with the crowd, or book a Lyft from the rideshare pickup on Juneau Avenue.
Doors typically open 60 minutes before tip-off. Backpacks aren’t allowed, and once your ticket is scanned there’s no re-entry.
