SummerSlam 2023: Where to park in Detroit for WWE event at Ford Field
On Saturday the WWE is at Ford Field, the Tigers are at Comerica Park, and Smokey Robinson is at the Fox Theater. All these things are happening at once and parking is going to be difficult.
DETROIT (FOX 2) - WWE's SummerSlam comes to Detroit on Saturday, along with other events that will make it a busy night downtown.
The wrestling event begins at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 5. at Ford Field.
There's also a Mt. Joy concert at The Fillmore, a Smokey Robinson show at the Fox Theatre, and a Tigers game in the afternoon that could impact traffic and parking before SummerSlam.
With such a busy weekend on tap, parking will be scarce, and some lots are already sold out.
Here are some options for parking downtown this weekend:
Hollywood Casino at Greektown
Park for free at the Hollywood Casino garage in Greektown with a Penn Play card.
Anyone 21 and older can get a card by visiting the upper level of the casino. Then, scan the card at the garage and you're good to go.
The parking garage is about a ½ mile from Ford Field.

Parking facilities surround the downtown venues with Lot 4, Lot 5, Lot 6, and the parking deck located adjacent to Ford Field. Call 313-262-2871 for more details.
