Williams Arena Parking

In the vicinity of Williams Arena includes street parking, ramp parking, and surface lots. The arena is on the west end of the campus off of University Avenue, next to TCF Bank Stadium. When TCF opened, it took some Williams Arena Parking away. It didn't take all of it however. The parking lot just a block north followed by a ramp two blocks west of the rink. The ramp is fairly easy to find a spot, but it's getting out of the ramp that tends to take a little longer.

If you'd prefer to park on the street, Washington and Oak Street provide meters if there are avaliable ones. If those aren't open, the next best bet is to look for a meter on University Avenue headed towards St. Paul. The last resort would be looking for several smaller lots around the arena that can charge anywhere from $8 to $20.
