There is a dedicated outdoor trailer lot just for the show not far from the convention center to park your rig over the weekend. I believe it has security as well, Bob Ashton can confirm.

I agree with the others about getting out on Sunday. In 2015 when we had the blizzard on Saturday I ended up borrowing a friend's trailer to bring home Dad's 62 since he drove it there on Thursday in the dry weather. Rather than wait and load up inside I was able to park my rig and wait in the office building parking lot just north of the Embassy Suites (as where several others) so that when the show cars came out of the building on the north side Dad drove about 500 feet and put it right in the trailer, tied it down, and were on our way in short order.

Thanks Jake. This like others I have talked with have said the same which is more than likely what I will end up doing.


Thanks everyone!

The marshalling yard is your best bet for truck/trailer parking over the weekend. It's free and there are shuttles running constantly between there and the Convention center.
As said before, if the weather is good on Sunday your quickest and less troublesome exit strategy is 'driving out'. There are a number of areas to stage your trailer within a block or two from the Convention center.
You'll have plenty of time over the weekend to chat with some of the 'MCACN Veterans' and develop your plan.
You're gonna LOVE the MCACN experience.
