Parking for Dallas Mavericks games can be a bit confusing due to the congestion of traffic near the arena on gameday. In this article, let’s explore some of the most popular Dallas Mavericks parking options.
When you park at American Airlines Center, you have two basic options:
- Use an American Airlines Center controlled parking lot or garage.
- Use a nearby public parking lot that might be cheaper, but will require a longer walk.
If you wish to drive up and pay on site for Dallas Mavericks parking, yes, some of the American Airlines Center controlled parking lots do allow you to pay on site (credit and debit card only). However, reserving a spot in advance always helps reduce hassle on gameday (buy a parking pass).
There are also several large public parking lots south of the arena that are not controlled by American Airlines Center and are instead operated by private parking companies. Do not expect the public parking lots to be free. Usually the public parking lots cost in the $7-$12 range, but prices can vary by lot.
Let’s discuss how you can buy a Dallas Mavericks parking pass and what Dallas Mavericks parking lots are the most convenient to use.

Public Parking for Dallas Mavericks Games
There are also several large parking areas near American Airlines Center that are not controlled by the arena or the team, and are instead operated by private parking companies. Most of these lots are a bit farther away from the arena (think 10-20 minute walk).
Usually the public parking lots cost in the $7-$12 range, but prices can vary by lot. In my experience, these public parking lots do not have a parking attendant. Some lots may allow you to text and pay but many of these lots have a payment kiosk where you can enter applicable information to receive a pass. Here is what one of these parking kiosks looks like.
The main takeaway is expect these public parking areas to be a bit cheaper (but not free), and to require a little bit longer of a walk. It may come down to the decision whether or not you want to pay the extra $15 or $20 for a spot closer to the arena.
