I didn't see one at Origins last year. Haven't seen any announcement that there will be one this year. I would plan on there not being one and then if there is, it's a happy surprise.

Yikes. So, where is the closest parking to the TD events?
this is not a signature.

Not sure. Depends where they put TD.

I park at the Vine Street garage. Already paid my parking in advance this year, as it fills up fast with convention attendees plus downtown workers. North Market is across the street from there, and they have an open lot available. Used both last year, didn't have any problem. As long as you don't need in-and-out privileges it's alright, $14 online each day Thursday to Sunday. No advance passes for Wednesday, though.

They're a pretty short walk from the convention center, very convenient IMO. Probably a brisk 10 minutes from where TD was last year for comparison.

Goodale garage and the North surface lot appear to be on the same side as Gaming Hall C, which is where TD is located according to the site book maps. So if you absolutely need your car to be as close to TD as possible, I'd shoot for one of those two for parking.

Don't park at the East surface lot or the South garage. That is all the way on the other end of the convention center, which is a bit of a hike away from TD. Vine Street garage and North Market lot are closer to the gaming halls in general, and are good for working knees and legs. Goodale garage and the North surface lot are best for TD enthusiasts that don't want to walk too far from dungeon to car or plan on carting a ton of stuff.

There is also usually a pride parade on Saturday afternoon that can obstruct crossing to Vine Street and North Market. There are breaks in the parade to allow crossing, but you may need to be patient during that time.

They just released their onsite book in PDF format, which has lots of helpful maps and other info. I think there was a parking info page, too.

Yes it looks like TD is in the same place. Hall D. So Goodale garage for sure. There is a skywalk to it.

I hope someone from TPTB could check in and give an insight into this.... I personally don't want to have to go out to a car to store my extra gear every two hours.

A G members can check a bag at the TD store desk at the event entrance. There is a brand new garage just north of the Con. Center. It will be close to the event.
