COMPLIMENTARY VIP PARKING:

SILVER DECK

The Silver Deck has been reserved for VIP attendees only. WIT has reserved enough spaces to accommodate all VIP guests.

Directions to lot:

For directional assistance please be sure to download and use Waze for turn by turn directions. Only Waze is recommended (do not use other GPS tools such as Google or Apple maps). Type “Mercedes Benz Stadium Silver Deck” into Waze and select “Silver Deck on Andrew Young International Boulevard NW” for accurate directions. 

Signs in the elevators and at the escalator will direct you to the event entrance. 

RIDESHARE

For easiest drop-off and pick-up, use this address: 1414 Andrew Young Blvd NW

This will take you to Gate 2 by the Falcon Statue.

Be prepared to show this pass to the parking attendant upon entry into the garage. Print in advance or show via phone.
 

If you plan to wear a thin heel to the event, we recommend ordering heel covers to protect your shoes from sinking into the turf field at Mercedes Benz Stadium. Heel covers, or heel protectors, can be purchased from Amazon and other shoe retailers. WIT will have a limited supply available at the event, but we encourage you to purchase yours in advance!
