McCormick Place lists Lots A, B, and C as its three main lots, all within walking distance of the venue (mccormickplace.com). Lot A has 2,100 parking spaces across six levels, an eight-foot height clearance, and covered walkways to McCormick Place and the Hyatt Regency McCormick Place (mccormickplace.com). Lot A costs $27 for up to 16 hours or $40 from 16 to 24 hours, while Lot B charges a flat $18 per day. Lot C costs $27 for up to 16 hours or $40 from 16 to 24 hours (mccormickplace.com). Lot B has no in-and-out privileges, whereas Lots A and C offer in-and-out privileges for pre-purchased parking (parkingguide.com). ## Planning a Weekday Arrival Near the Station Event parking is the main consideration for drivers using the station area. McCormick Place says discounted evening rates may apply during special events, including the Chicago Auto Show (chicagoautoshow.com). The campus parking FAQ lists a $14 daily rate for one lot with no in-and-out privileges, open throughout event hours, but overnight parking is not available there (mccormickplace.com). Drivers staying for more than one day or attending more than one event can use McCormick Place’s pre-purchase parking service. The service specifically directs multi-day or multi-event users to its online booking section, with in-and-out privileges available in Lots A and C and unavailable in Lot B (parkingguide.com). Show map of Near South Side ## Parksy Parking Close to McCormick Place Station Parksy lists two outdoor parking lots 0.3 mi from the station at $35 a day and $14 a day. The $35 option suits a driver who prioritizes a straightforward lot space, while the $14 options are better for keeping a full day’s cost down. At 0.4 mi, a secure 24/7 garage costs $2 an hour and fits drivers who need hourly flexibility or a late return. Two additional garage spaces at the same distance cost $10 a day: one is in a Long Grove house garage and the other is at 2050 S. Indiana Ave. Garage parking is a practical match for drivers who prefer a covered or more structured space close to the station. ## Street Parking Rules Near the Station Metered spaces outside Chicago’s central business district are generally free on Sundays, except where signs explicitly state “7 Day Paid Parking” (parkchicago.com). That rule is relevant when comparing a curbside space with paid lots around the station, but the posted sign controls any individual space. Chicago’s street parking around the station therefore cannot be treated as uniformly free on Sundays. A “7 Day Paid Parking” sign keeps payment in force, while other metered spaces outside the central business district fall under the Sunday rule (parkchicago.com). Drivers using the curb should read the sign at the space before leaving the vehicle, particularly around event parking activity at McCormick Place. ## Reaching the Station From Nearby Rail Links 27th Street station is the nearest listed station, 0.4 mi away and a 9-minute walk from the station. That makes it a useful rail alternative for drivers who find a suitable space farther south or want to compare arrival points before committing to campus parking. The station sits in Near South Side, 0.6 mi from the neighborhood center. McCormick Place’s three main lots are described as being in close proximity and within walking distance of the venue (mccormickplace.com). For event visitors, parking in Lots A, B, or C can therefore provide a direct walk into the convention complex, while Parksy’s spaces at 0.3 mi and 0.4 mi offer nearby alternatives with daily or hourly pricing.
