Value City Arena Parking

555 Borror Drive, Columbus, Ohio 43210

NOTICE: Traffic in Columbus by the Value City Arena can get busier at times of the major events. We typically recommend allowing extra time to arrive, park and walk to the venues entrance.

Value City Arena offers various parking arrangements to accommodate different needs and event types. Parking availability varies significantly depending on event type and timing.

On-Site Parking Information

Value City Arena features dedicated parking areas that provide convenient access. Scarlet Lots along Borror Drive offer the closest options, but fill quickly for popular events. On-site parking typically opens two hours before event doors with designated entry and exit lanes.

For most events, the lots operate on a first-come, first-served basis, though pre-purchased passes are available for certain events through the CampusParc website. Digital signs, traffic personnel, and event-specific parking maps help visitors navigate the options.

Parking Costs

Parking fees vary by event type, with different athletic and concert structures. The venue has transitioned to cashless payments, accepting only credit or debit cards and mobile payments. Depending on lot proximity and event importance, fees typically range from $15 to $30.

Pre-purchasing passes online provides convenience and potential savings. Some premium seating packages include complimentary parking as part of their benefits, but the venue does not offer free parking options directly on-site.

Nearby Parking Alternatives

When on-site parking reaches capacity, several nearby areas provide additional options within walking distance. Ohio Stadium lots south of Lane Avenue offer substantial capacity and are about 10 to 15 minutes away. St. John Arena and The Buckeye Lots off Ackerman Road each provide overflow capacity for major events, with shuttle services available during select events at The Buckeye Lots.

Walking paths connect distant lots to the arena.

ADA Accessible Parking

Value City Arena prioritizes accessible parking accommodations with designated spaces in premium locations. Disability parking spaces are located in Scarlet Lots along Borror Drive adjacent to the arena. Valid state-issued disability permits and registration are required, with the permit holder present in the vehicle.

If primary accessible spaces are filled, additional ADA spaces will be available in Buckeye Lots with a dedicated wheelchair-accessible shuttle service. Drop-off and pick-up are available along Borror Drive for those with mobility challenges. Standard parking fees apply to accessible spaces during paid parking events.
