No-hassle parking available for WIAA tournament

Because parking around the Kohl Center is limited, especially before 5 p.m. on weekdays, WIAA tournament fans are being encouraged to park at the Alliant Energy Center (formerly the Dane County Coliseum/Expo Center) and ride a Madison Metro shuttle bus to the arena. Cost to park: $4. Ride: $1 round-trip.

The shuttle runs every 30 minutes on the hour and half-hour. It will pick up passengers on Fairgrounds Drive near Barn 4 behind the Alliant Center and drop them off directly in front of the Kohl Center.

Fans staying in the downtown area are encouraged to walk to the Kohl Center or to use a hotel shuttle if possible.

After 5 p.m. on Thursday and Friday and all day on Saturday, parking will be available in university lots near the Kohl Center on a first-come, first-served basis. Cost: $5. Parking attendants will staff the lots.
