Parking is available in parking garages, parking lots, and on-street parking located on the north and east sides of the Tampa Convention Center.
The Tampa Convention Center Parking Garage entrance is accessible from the corner of Brorein St. and Tampa Street. Standard rates are $2.00 per hour, but depending on special events in the area could range from $5.00 to $50.00 depending on the event. Daily parking is now "pay by plate" using the ParkMobile app.
Traffic Flow Change
The South Tampa St. "S-curve" past East Brorein Street is closed. This is where you would normally go under the expressway, curve, and then turn right on Franklin.
Drivers will instead turn left onto Brorein St, then right onto Franklin. Signage and barricades will guide traffic, but please allow for extra travel time.
Full access to the Tampa Convention Center Garage and Upper Loading Docks remains open.
See the TCC Construction Updates page for more details.
