Event Start
While the event starts officially at 8PM, we encourage attendees to arrive a little earlier or after to reduce traffic!
We will begin parking attendees 45 minutes prior to the event start in the far lots at the end of Universal Drive. Please do not arrive any earlier than 7:15PM. The building will not be open until the event starts at 8PM.
PLEASE ARRIVE WITH YOUR TICKET READY TO SHOW AN EMPLOYEE SO WE CAN GET YOU PARKED AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE!
Getting Here: The Best Routes to Avoid Traffic
We ask all attendees to avoid EXIT 9 on I-91! Although it is the closest exit to The LAB, it becomes heavily congested and will likely add 20–30 minutes to your arrival..
Please see the map below to find the best route to take to get here!
DRIVE SAFELY! RESPECT THE LOT!
Arrive and depart safely. Burnouts and reckless driving are strictly prohibited.
ABSOLUTELY ZERO BURNOUTS. North Haven Police will be present. Burnouts or reckless driving may result in a reckless-driving charge and your vehicle being towed.
