Alamodome parking

According to the Alamodome’s website, during peak traffic times, northbound Cherry Street will be closed at East Cesar E. Chavez Boulevard.

On Friday, April 4, basketball fans heading to the Reese’s Men’s Final Four can find free public parking in Lot B, though space is limited. Free ADA parking will be offered in Lot A on a first-come, first-served basis, with both lots opening at 9 a.m.

On Monday, April 7, only ADA parking will be available during the championship game. The lot will open at 3:30 p.m.

Anyone purchasing ADA spaces must present a valid ADA license plate or placard on the day of the event, according to the NCAA’s website. The space must be used by a person with a disability.

Public parking

Public parking is available at different downtown lots and garages.

The Alamodome’s website states the San Antonio Marriott RiverCenter, East Crockett Street and East Commerce Street garages are among some locations where attendees can choose to park.

Other nearby parking lots and garages in the downtown area from the City of San Antonio website include:

There will be NO parking on Market Street on Sunday, April 6, until after noon due to the Men’s Final Four Dribble. The San Antonio Police Department will tow any vehicle on Market Street during that time period.

Plan ahead

Our KSAT Weather Authority team expects a cool front to arrive late Friday, bringing a game-changing chance of storms Friday afternoon through Saturday.

With that said, anyone heading out to the March Madness Music Festival at Hemisfair will most likely be impacted by storms Friday night.

If severe weather or lightning becomes a factor, officials will release updates on the Men’s Final Four App.
