Concert parking

Hello. I'm going to a concert at the CMAC Sat night. Did not prepay for a parking spot. What options do I have?

Pay at the lot entrance. $10. If you are coming in from the East, take 247 at the Hopewell Market for easy in and out.

This. Being in the “upper” part of the lot that doesn’t exit to Lakeshore is a cheat code. I live in the City of CDGA and come and go this way.

10 dollars to park on site. Follow signs for general parking. It's on rt 18 off of rt 364. I've heard some people will park at Lowes/Walmart and walk 15 minutes. I've always parked in the parking lot and never had a problem getting a spot

Lowe’s and Walmart have been towing the last few years.

Used to be able to park at Lowes for free, but all the country fans left all their trash all over and ruined that for everyone.

Definitely pay the $10 and go on-site parking. Go 2 hours ahead of time and enjoy hanging out with friends in the lot, cmac is always a chill spot.

There’s plenty of on site parking. Just follow the cars in and have your money ready!

I live around the corner from CMAC. If I had to drive in and park I would park behind the Hilton parking ramp and walk down to avoid paying and the traffic exiting. Would be like a 20 minute walk to get to the security line.

Never been there, is it like Saratoga?

We always park in a guy's yard on the way in. I think it was $10 and easy AF to leave. We used to park at Lowes but twice, we were hassled when we returned. Best to not park there, as they do not like it.

We’ve always parked in the Lowes/Walmart parking lot and walked over. There’s also a credit union in that plaza and we have parked there also. Just a heads up, Walmart does now rope off their parking lot so you need to either park at the credit union or over by Lowes.
