Don’t fret. While the Arizona Coyotes may have caused some initial stress, our Mullett Arena parking and public transportation guide will help you to arrive on time and with the greatest amount of ease. So sit back and relax because we’re bringing you everything from Mullett Arena parking—both at the venue and near it—as well as drop-off and pick-up options for rideshare apps, taxis, public transportation and, yes, even for biking.
Mullett Arena Parking – At the Venue
Planning on parking at the Arena? You’ll want to set your GPS for either the closest parking structure, the Packard Structure Parking Garage or, should you be planning on arriving later, possibly the Novus Parking Garage. Both are excellent options and recommended by ASU parking officials. What you’ll also want to remember, however, is that Mullett Arena is a cashless venue, meaning that you’ll want to grab a credit/debit card to pay for parking. The parking rates for 2023 are as follows:
- $30 Arizona Coyotes
- $20 Concerts & Shows
- $15 Sun Devil Athletics
Should you want to avoid fumbling for your credit card at the parking garage and, perhaps, even reserve a spot well in advance, you can pre-purchase your Coyotes game parking pass through Ticketmaster. However, do keep in mind that there’s a small additional fee whenever booking through Ticketmaster.
Mullett Arena Parking – Near the Venue
Since Mullett Arena parking is on the ASU campus, that doesn’t leave a heck of a lot of room for other third party lots and garages for parking near the venue. While the good folks over at ASU do recommend the aforementioned Packard Structure Parking Garage and/or Novus Parking Garagem you might want to try your luck with some of these other nearby lots that may offer more space for larger vehicles or are simply away from all the crowds.
AirGarage – 0.2 Miles
Lot 59 East – 0.2 Miles
ASU Stadium Parking – 0.3 Miles
