what is the best place to park at the XL center

[Ralph]

considering price and getting out to Rt. 84 west.

Welcome!

I recommend the lot on Trumbull Street near Salute Restaurant and Bushnell Park. It is just south of Pearl Street.

You can take a left out of the lot and go around the south side of the Park and pick up 84 West by the State Capitol.

There are times when it takes a while to get out of the lot but I haven`t had a problem this year. I would hustle over there after the game, though.

I think they charge $10. If that is too pricey, I`ll defer to others for options.

Only for those who can walk a half mile each way: on nights and weekends there are idle unlocked fenced lots used on business days by court employees. Lots are off West St south of Capitol Ave. The walk to XL is pleasant, down to and through Bushnell Park then north on Trumbull St. It satisfies my grandfather's four rules for parking. In priority order: parking must be safe, legal, convenient, and free. Exit onto Capitol Ave west toward Sigourney St entry to I-84 W

The Saints lot located at the corner of
Ann and Church Sts. Lot is diagonally across the street from the Church St. Entrance to XL, costs $10 and provides easy access to I84. Lot fills fast so get there early.

up anywhere behind the XL Center... southwest corner Asylum and Ann area

Pearl street garage is $5 and pretty easy access to 84.

Go with Buckaroo's info.

 

[Husky pride]

Agree. The Saints lot located at Ann and Church is prime and the best choice.

Under the skyway across the street from CityPlace. You'll be towed, but that is the best place.

Buckaroo got it right!

If the weather is decent, I park across the street from the south side of Bushnell Park, almost directly across from where the skating park is or where the Pump House Restaurant was. It is a pay lot during the day, but no charge at night, after 5:00p.m. or so. Drive up to and around the Capitol to pick up 84. Walk to XL is easy, 5-6 min. Go across park, up hill, and viola!

When I was in CT and getting season tickets, I parked on-street on Elm St, which borders the south side of Bushnell park. Getting back out to I-91 is a cinch from there. No cost. Cut through Bushnell by the Lily Pond to get to XL.

Do we have any games left at XL this season?

 

[Waquoit]

We park in the lot across main from DD Park. It's only $5. Drive to the back corner and it's just a short walk to the back entrance. Quick access to the 84W ramp.

Um ... tonight.

 

[hoopsdiva]

Um ... tonight.

For some reason I thought tonight's game was at Gampel... my bad.

Either way, I'll be attending the game from my lucky chair in my living room.
