Tour of Missouri Poses Parking Problems for 9/13 Patrons

The Tour of Missouri Bicycle race will be taking place this Sunday, September 13, with the finish line being in front of Crown Center. This race will close off streets all over the downtown area between 1pm and 6pm that day, so if you have tickets to either performance of I'll Be Back Before Midnight that day, please be aware that you may have trouble getting to Crown Center. Allow additional time for delays caused by the race. Below are some instructions given to us by Crown Center and the Tour of Missouri folks that should help you get to the show on time!

The best way to avoid the road closures is to arrive before 1pm to Crown Center. The streets surrounding the Center will close at 1pm and will not re-open until 6pm. After 1pm you may have extreme difficulty getting to the Crown Center parking garages. Come early and enjoy lunch at one of the fine restaurants in Crown Center using the discount coupon on your tickets.

If you are not able to arrive before 1pm, approach Grand from the east. The police will allow crossover traffic on Grand from 9th to 20th Street (AHT is at 25th St). Once the bicyclists pass (there will be 7 passes), traffic will be allowed to proceed through Grand for a limited amount of time. Proceed through Grand to Main then go south on Main to Pershing. Turn east on Pershing. The Westin garage on the south side of Pershing will be available with signs in the garage to direct you to the Crown Center retail garage.



The blue and yellow dashed line on this map indicates the route the bicyclists will be taking and roads that will be closed.
