FAQ
What time should I arrive? Anytime from 6 pm onward. We’re planning brief remarks for about 8:15 pm.
Will I get stuck in traffic? If you’re driving or using a rideshare service, traffic in the immediate vicinity will be intense from about 6:30 to 7:25 pm due to two 7:30 performances at the Guthrie Theater next door. In addition, streets around U.S. Bank Stadium will be closed throughout the evening because of an event there.
Where can I park? There is limited, metered street parking. Nearby ramps include:
Mill Quarter Parking Ramp; across the street ($50 event rate!)
Riverfront Municipal Parking Ramp (aka the “Guthrie ramp”); 1 block away ($50 event rate!)
Portland Avenue Ramp; 2 blocks
Depot Parking; 3 blocks
Some ramps may fill up. See Spot Hero and Park Whiz for information about parking “reservations.”
Can I take public transportation? Metro Transit bus routes 3, 7 and 22 run on Washington Avenue and stop 1 block away at Chicago Ave. The Green Line light rail train will be running to US Bank Plaza station. The Blue Line is still undergoing summer maintenance. Replacement bus service to the US Bank Plaza is available.
Is the event outdoors? Yes, we’ll be on our 9th floor rooftop unless there is rain. While it will be a warm day, the rooftop will be mostly shaded by 6 pm, and there could be a breeze. Some may want a layer.
What is ‘dressy casual’? Something between everyday casual wear and formal attire. Jackets not required.
Text us if you have any other questions.
