to normal. Taxi drop off and pick up is located at the North End of the stadium, near
Gate 3.
Additional Tips:(Especially important if you are not familiar with downtown Jacksonville)
If you are able to, Monster Truck fans are encouraged to pick-up their
tickets from the Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena Box Office prior
to Saturday, February 22. Arrive early, we recommend three hours early; traffic is expected to beslow.
There is very little PRE-PAID parking on event day. A map of parkinglots near the stadium is available at www.jaxsheriff.org. Please remember
to bring cash to pay for parking. Prices will vary depending on the lot. If you do have a pre-paid parking pass please have it visible to assist
officers with getting you to your designated parking area. Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office and Florida Alcoholic Beverages and
Tobacco enforcement agents will be working this event with a focus onunderage drinking.
Beaver Street and Monroe Street are underutilized; if you are parking on
the west side of the stadium, these streets will get you to the parkinggarages and all the lots on the west side of the stadium.
No streets will be closed in the sports complex before the start of theMonster Truck Jam. Sign boards will direct drivers into the appropriate
lanes for designated lots. Fans should try to cross the bridge into downtown that is closest to their
parking space not the bridge most convenient to their origination point.
