Jerry Jones didn’t get his dream match-up at Cowboys Stadium with Pacquiao vs. Mayweather (well, no one did). However, he did land the next best thing…

As of yesterday, ESPNDallas.com is reporting that Manny Pacquiao has agreed to fight Joshua Clottey on March 13th at Cowboys Stadium.

Victory to Jerry Jones as he adds yet another star event at Cowboys Stadium. With the Cowboys having a chance to host the NFC Championship game on January 24, the first quarter of the year has been non-stop in the city of Arlington. Here’s a list of upcoming events at Cowboys Stadium:

January 24th - NFL Championship Game: Arizona Cardinals vs. Cowboys (TBD)
February 14th - NBA All-Star Game
February 20th - PBR - Professional Bull Riders
February 27th - Monter Jam Trucks
March 13th - Boxing: Joshua Clottey Vs. Manny Pacquiao
March 20th - AMA Supercross

Once we have more details on the bout between Pacquiao and Clottey, we will add it to our Cowboys page so you can reserve your parking ahead of time.

Happy New Year!

The Dallas Cowboys won the NFC East division title today by shutting out the Philadelphia Eagles 24-0. It was the Cowboys’ 20th division title in their storied history and 2nd in the last 3 years. With the victory, coupled with an Arizona Cardinals loss, the Cowboys also secured the 3rd seed in the playoffs giving them an outside chance of hosting the championship game on Sunday, January 24th.

But first things first, by winning the game, the Cowboys will host their first playoff game at Cowboys Stadium next week against…you guessed it…the Philadelphia Eagles. It’s gonna be an epic showdown and Cowboys Stadium will be rocking. The game is officially set for Saturday, January 9th at 7:00 PM.

In a game sure to be sold out, make sure you RESERVE your GUARANTEED parking spot NOW with ParkWhiz.com.

2 years ago, the Penguins defeated the Sabres in the first US outdoor NHL game. Last year, it was the Red Wings escaping the Blackhawks in a wild, high scoring affair. This year, a new chapter unfolds at Fenway Park with the Philadelphia Flyers taking on the Boston Bruins.

In only its 3rd year, the Winter Classic has turned into a wildly successful marketing initiative by the NHL to display its superstars in the outdoor scene. And for the 2nd year in a row, ParkWhiz will enable customers to reserve parking for the event online.

So get your tickets and reserve your parking now! It’s a great way to kick off the new year!

Could it be? Floyd Mayweather, Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao. The fight of the century. Well, while some may debate whether it is the fight of the century or not, the projections don’t lie. This fight will be huge. How huge? Many are predicting this fight to easily eclipse the Mayweather vs. De La Hoya fight which pulled in over 2.45 million PPV (pay-per view) customers. Whew. That’s a lot of dough.

With Pacquiao reportedly committed to the fight as of today with a set date for March 13, 2010, the only question remains…where will the fight take place? Well, if Jerry Jones has anything to do about it…hello Arlington, Texas and Cowboys Stadium…

We’ll see…

This past Friday, ParkWhiz was featured in the Dallas Morning News. The article can be seen in our Press Section or on Dallasnews.com.

In the article, Jeff Mosier, who is a columnist for the Dallas Morning News and wrote the article, mentioned that Google Maps does “exclude some new streets around the stadium”. While we are aware of this issue, we tip our hats to our participating parking facility owners who have done a great job of providing intimate detail about their parking lot near Cowboys Stadium. This level of detail not only provides customers with upfront information such as tailgating options, shuttle services, on-site security detail, but also turn-by-turn directions and distance to help navigate the congested roads on gameday.

In the meantime, customers can rest assured that as ParkWhiz adds more parking facilities to its network, it will continue to build upon its existing platform to provide customers with a seamless and hassle-free experience!

Thanks for the write-up Jeff and for anyone interested in the latest happenings around Cowboys Stadium, check out COWBOYS STADIUM blog, where Jeff is a main contributor. It’s an interesting read on the happenings in and around Cowboys Stadium.

Parking AT the stadium of your choice is a no-brainer, right? It requires little, if any planning, and the only thing you have to worry about is whether your seats are equidistant to the nacho/beer line and restrooms. All you do is hop in your car and head right on over to the stadium to find the closest parking spot available. Simple enough, right?

Well, the first problem you encounter is that many of the on-site stadium lots are for season ticket holders. Strike one. Then after a bit of searching you still find a decent lot not too far away but you have to fork over…WHAT…$50. (Yup that’s right. Stadium parking lots in many parts of the country costs that much. In fact, Cowboys Stadium parking is between $60 and $75.) Strike two. Finally, after an enjoyable day at the stadium, you head back to your car only to find out 50,000 other crazed fans are also heading back to their car in the SAME lot as you. Add another 2 hours to your commute. Strike three.

All of that could’ve been avoided if you spent 5-10 minutes online to plan your trip. Visit your favorite search engine like Google, and type “‘your stadium name’ followed by the word “parking” (i.e. Madison Square Garden parking) and voila, a host of information at your fingertips. Chances are one of the top search results you’ll see to find parking or reserve parking at is ParkWhiz.com. (Seriously, try it!). To save time in the future, though, skip the search engine altogether and just head over to www.ParkWhiz.com. Once you’re here, click on the team/stadium of your choice and you’ll be greeted with a list of parking options, almost ALL of which are off-site parking locations to the stadium. The distances range from a block away up to a mile from the stadium. Some lots provide a shuttle service to take you to and from the stadium, others have tailgating and restrooms for your convenience, and others have easy entry/exit on the highway. Sure you may have to walk a bit more than if you parked right at the stadium, but considering you’ll pay considerably less, know EXACTLY where you will park ahead of time, and not deal with the traffic congestion getting OUT of the parking lot, isn’t that worth it? Plus, it’s a great way to lose those nacho cheese calories!

We currently offer reserved, off-site parking at the following stadiums (with many more to come in the coming months):

Cowboys Stadium
Madison Square Garden
Fenway Park
Wrigley Field
AT&T Park
Busch Stadium
US Cellular Field

If your favorite stadium isn’t listed, contact us at info@parkwhiz.com and we’ll let you know when it will.

Happy trails!

The new Dallas Cowboys Stadium has generated quite a buzz this summer. From its opening hit act featuring Reba McIntyre and George Strait to NFL punters taking aim at Jerry Jone’s $40 million TV, this super-sized stadium is even large by Texas standards!

While the festivities inside the stadium have been off the charts, getting to the stadium or more specifically, parking your car has been a slightly different story. “Entrepreneurial” residents have been Jonesing (pun intended) for months now to make a buck or two by offering event goers parking in their backyard. Alas, when the dust eventually settled, the City of Arlington placed specific rules who can offer parking.

Well, today we’re happy to announce ParkWhiz.com will be working with several of the “legal” parking establishments, offering a free shuttle service to and from the stadium. All you have to do is visit ParkWhiz.com, click on the Cowboy Stadium event you’re going to and voila…guaranteed parking at your finger tips. Doesn’t get much easier than that. Problem solved. Now if only they could fix the punter’s issue…

First the Winter Classic, then the concert series featuring Elton John and Billy Joel…now potentially a game between intrastate rivals Northwestern and U of I! As always, ParkWhiz will be there to take care of your Wrigley parking needs.

I’m keeping my fingers crossed for this one, especially considering NU is my alma mater…go Cats!
