Load-In and Load-Out

Load-in and Load-out Guidelines

Please do not leave vehicles unattended in loading zone. Place load-in items from your vehicle inside the building, not blocking the entrance and promptly move your vehicle into the CMCC parking lot adjacent to the facility or into the Park Street Garage located directly across the street. Please follow the same procedure upon load-out, making sure exhibit space is packed and load-out items are near the door before retrieving your vehicle. Unattended vehicles parked on a curb, in main driving lane, fire lane, in a reserved parking space or in a loading zone will be towed.

Loading Zone Instructions

Items may be brought into lower level prefunction space through main entry of lower level doors or may be brought directly into Exhibit Hall via side door to the left of main doors.

Travel behind Colonial Life Arena to a ramp that leads to loading zone.
