some parking avail on side streets around it if you're lucky and willing to walk two or four blocks. ramps that charge are directly accross fromthe convention center.

well worth the trip and parking for this one. i believe it's the 2nd largest show in MN. good stuff

Parking in the lots right near the Convention Center is steep $9 if you get creative you can find parking a few blocks away and possibly long term meters.
Nicolette ave area near CC is good place to get robbed.

Minneapolis has always charged for metered parking on weekends - not so in St. Paul.

is this show worth the paying for parking? or is pretty much the same as most the other shows they put up at the fairgrounds?

Now that would be a longer walk than I want, Just to save on parking.

I had considered going until I heard that the place is posted. I don't head out to MPLS without my heater...

I'd rather go to Gunstop and browse anyway.

MCC itself isn't posted. The show may put up some signs and ask that you unload while in the show.
