Heading into Chicago to see a major sporting event at United Center can be fun but also a nightmare. United Center parking in Chicago is always difficult, and nobody wants to park twenty blocks away just to see a game. Fortunately, there are new ways to find parking besides circling Michigan Ave. or other Chicago streets for an hour or more.
Reserving Parking in Advance
Big cities know what a hassle it is for visitors, tourists, and event ticket holders to find a place to park. Most cities have teamed up with parking apps or parking reservation services to help everyone find parking. Those visitors and ticket holders who are in the know simply utilize these services on their phones to hold parking spots up to two months in advance.
How It Works
Either visit the preferred website recommended by visitor information bureaus or download the app. Create an account, select the dates you need parking and where in the city you need parking, and then search for available spots. Once you find a spot you want to reserve, you click on it and pay for it, and it’s held for you for the dates and times you need it.
Nobody else can park in your spot, as they have to prove that they secured that spot themselves. No spots are ever double-booked, so no one can claim that they paid for the same spot as you. When you are ready to secure your United Center parking, go to ParkChirp.
