Where To Park
Convention Center Carpark
The new Convention Center Carpark located adjacent to the MassMutual Center is now open to the public!!!
A few notes:
- This is a PAID garage. Click Here For Daily Rates & Event Parking Rates
- Entrances & Exits are located on Harrison Avenue & Dwight Street
- There is a street-level walkway that leads from the garage, across Bruce Landon Way, and will empty onto the sidewalk of Bruce Landon Way in front of the box office.
- Although open and operating, there will still be construction activities in and around the garage as the construction is still ongoing. Please follow all signage and direction provided by garage attendants.
Please note: Bruce Landon Way is partially shut down due to the construction of the new garage, so there is no thru traffic. There is, however, limited ADA parking on Dwight St, State St, and Court St.
For Other Parking Options
The MGM parking garage is the closest, about a block away, and is free. Please park, take the elevator to the casino floor, and follow the floor arrow signs stating The Under 21 Expressway to the MassMutual Center. This will bring you through the casino (without entering the casino floor) to an exit. Upon exiting, the MassMutual Center will be across the street to your left.
