Parking options at U.S. Cellular Coliseum

This will be the first year the Holiday Classic has used the U.S. Cellular Coliseum, and as excited as we are for this opportunity, we are aware that this poses some new parking situations for our teams and fans. Please review the below information before coming to Bloomington to watch your team play. 

The official address of the U.S. Cellular Coliseum is 101 South Madison Street, Bloomington.

  • Fans/Parents/Media parking - The parking garage located near the southwest corner of the Coliseum (corner of Olive and Lee Streets) will be offering free, 4-hour parking during our event for fans. If you park there longer than four hours then you will risk getting a $25 ticket from the City of Bloomington. This garage should have plenty of parking for all fans and can be entered off of Olive Street or Lee Street, and fans can enter the Coliseum through the south VIP Suites/Administrative Office entrance to the Coliseum, pay and then take the elevator or stairs to the second floor concourse area.
  • Teams traveling in buses/vans – there is a small, circle drive on the south side of the Coliseum off of Olive Street in Bloomington. Please enter into this drive and drop off players and coaches. Teams can then enter through the VIP Suites/Administrative Offices entrance into the Coliseum and check in on their Team Pass list.
  • Team bus/van parking – while your team is playing, drivers can park buses and vans in the loading dock area on the west side of the Coliseum off of Lee Street, or see if there is any available spots along Front Street on the north side of the Coliseum. Drivers can then enter the facility at the north entrance off of Front Street. There will be a pass list at both the north and south entrances with all Team Pass lists.
  • Additional parking in downtown Bloomington – additional parking options can be found on the U.S. Cellular Coliseum website at http://www.uscellularcoliseum.com/directions/parking/, and directions to this facility can be found at http://www.uscellularcoliseum.com/directions/map/.
  • Downtown Bloomington Association – see what else downtown Bloomington has to offer at http://www.downtownbloomington.org/.
