I had to add this garage to Yelp because it isn't listed. The only reason to park here is if you're going to an event at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. It's close to there for a moderate price. In my opinion... still not worth it.
The listed prices are wrong. It's something like 3-4 dollars for the first 3 hours. Then it goes to 7 dollars for 5-9 hours and so on. The max is supposed to be 24 dollars a day. On a recent trip to Bankers Life I decided to give this garage a chance. Parking for 4 hours ended up being 15 dollars. Not outrageous but it's not what the posted signs said and there weren't any event parking rates posted.
I'm used to the headache of not making it out of a venue area. You have to be patient. I understand that. For this garage, there are two levels. The first level was full which I'm sure is usual. In that case, you have to go to level two. Instead of going up, you make your way down. There's one way in and one way out which is a complete mess.
The way this garage is setup is bizarre. It's not in a square, circle, or anything. I guess you could say it's a rectangle but there are small squares that branch off of the main rectangle causing crazy confusion. I had to drive around the thing two or three times just to find the pathway to the next level.
The level I ended up parking on was the same. Bizarre. Leaving was a headache too. You have at least 8 different intersections on each level. 4 car lines at each intersection with everyone thinking it's their turn to go next. If I ever go to an event at Bankers Life FieldHouse again, this garage will be the last place I park. The issues didn't stop when finally getting out of the garage. There are loads of people and cars to navigate around the streets in the area.
This garage is a catch-all for the mall and surrounding businesses. There are so many businesses in that area that I'm sure it's always packed. If you're going somewhere in the area, I'd double-check to see if there are any events going on nearby. If there are, check the start/end times and plan accordingly. If you're going to one of those events, plan to stay at one of the many businesses/bars in the area for a while after your event. read more
