Press representatives are responsible for their own parking. Target Center does not have any parking that they control. There are numerous parking garages nearby.
Loading Area
We suggest that any press representative with a light load-in unload at the drop-off zone front of the main lobby doors on the First Avenue side of Target Center and enter through the main lobby.
Once you are unloaded you must move your vehicle. There will be signage and personnel there to direct you to the MEDIA ROOM for registration.
Press with larger gear load-in may unload in the loading dock. The entrance to the loading dock is on Second Ave. close to 6th street. Once any equipment is unloaded the truck must be moved immediately.
Coverage
There will be a media area on the floor, as well as desks with hard phone lines and internet access in the media lounge. There will also be media riders that can accommodate up to 12 cameras, as well as a pit camera for live feeds. In addition, there will be a bloggers lounge in a luxury box for live blogging and podcasting.
Registration
Press must check in and receive press passes. Please come to the MEDIA ROOM (look for the signs) at the Target Center. It opens at 9:00 am on Tuesday, 09/02. The first press event is a short press conference with Dr. Paul at 11:00 am in the Main Hall.
All press members will need to show either official press credentials or RNC press credentials if attending the other convention in town to receive their Campaign for Liberty credentials.
