Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before your event’s start time. This allows you to find parking, clear entry, and get settled — especially important during large meets and multi-court tournaments, when crowds are at their peak. If you’re coordinating with friends or a team, set a meeting point outside the main entrance to save time.

While the venue is indoors, Spokane winters can affect travel and parking conditions. Give yourself extra time in snowy or icy weather, and consider public transit or rideshare if road conditions are challenging. Once inside, you’ll find the walkways accessible, with minimal elevation change and ramps and elevators to reach your level comfortably.

If you prefer to explore before the action begins, arrive early to check sightlines, visit concessions, and browse merchandise. With panoramic views of downtown and the river from select areas, it’s worth grabbing a quick photo before you take your seat.

Venue Navigation

The Podium’s 135,000 square feet of flexible space is designed for flow — entry lines are well organized, and wide concourses make it simple to reach your section.

Elevators and ramps serve all levels, making navigation straightforward for every guest.

Concessions are positioned throughout the concourse, offering snacks, beverages, and light meals, with select events featuring local beer and regional specialties.

Pre-Event Planning

Make the most of your day by pairing your visit with downtown Spokane’s highlights. Stroll through nearby Riverfront Park, take in views of Spokane Falls, or meet friends for a pre-event meal in Kendall Yards or along the river. If your schedule is flexible, check The Podium - Spokane schedule to find back-to-back events you can enjoy over a full day downtown.

If you’re coordinating with a group, choose a clear meeting point outside the main entrance on W Dean Ave and share your seating section in advance. That way, late arrivals can navigate directly to your row. For multi-day competitions, consider planning dining breaks between sessions and reviewing the event layout so you know where to find your court, mat, or heat quickly.
