  Accessible Parking 
Value City Arena exceeds ADA standards in terms of the number of accessible parking spaces provided. However, for some heavily attended events like Men's Basketball and the OHSAA State Championships, the demand for accessible parking (you must have a state issued disability-parking hangtag) can exceed the supply of available on-site spaces.  For these events, guests with disabilities are advised to park in the Buckeye Lots off Ackerman Road and take the accessible shuttle buses or para-transit vans.
