Don Toliver: Octane Tour 29 Aug 2026

There are a wide range of event parking options in the vicinity of Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse.

As well as a variety of surface lots located a short walk from the venue, there are 2 on-site garages – the Gateway East Garage and JACK Cleveland Casino Garage – which can accommodate 3,300 cars.

Both are accessible with multiple passenger elevators allowing access to the FieldHouse at ground level, while the former also has a connecting bridge leading directly into the venue, which is accessed via Garage Level 3 from the elevators. Valid tickets are required to enter the venue via the bridge.

The Gateway East Garage typically opens 3 hours before an event starts for guests with Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse specific parking passes (Cleveland Cavaliers, Cleveland Monsters, or other events at the venue). The Gateway East Garage only has a limited number of designated accessible spaces – for vehicles with the appropriate international handicap access symbol – which are available on a first-come, first-served basis. There is also limited space for vans with a 9’6″ clearance.

When there is a dual event at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse and Progressive Field (such as when the Cleveland Cavaliers or Monsters play at the same time as the Cleveland Guardians), the Gateway East Garage will only accept parking passes that have been purchased in advance.

Here is a breakdown of parking options in the area:
