Parking options near Time Warner Cable Arena (Charlotte: live in, price)

[hkrn44]

I'm going to see a show at Time Warner Cable Arena in Charlotte this Saturday. Are you allowed to park at the Time Warner Cable Arena? I would need parking probably from 2pm to 11pm. Or are there any parking garages within walking distance?

Thanks in advance!

There's an open air lot directly across the street for $5 a day.

I usually park at the EpiCenter. More expensive but it is easier to get out of, in my own humble and educated opinion.

Not sure where you are coming from, but using the Light Rail is what I normally do. You can always park at one of the stations like East/West and you'll get dropped off right infront of the arena using the LR. It beats paying $15 or more for parking. Of course if you're coming from North Charlotte or somewhere else it may be counter productive.

I enjoy taking the light rail for events since I live in Ballantyne. Can't beat the price and no sitting in traffic after the event. Super easy if you are close to one of the stops.
