    We are inside the Iowa Field House—our front doors is at the southeast entrance of the building.

  • Parking is located to the west and south of the facility in the lot between the Marriott/Field House and to the east between the Field House/MidAmerica Center.

    The Iowa Field House occasionally hosts events that take up premium parking spots, but there is still plenty of parking available.
