New: Antlers Parking Validation Process
The Antlers has a new parking validation process.
They will no longer be using tickets to validate at the front desk.
The new process is:
1. Enter your license plate number at the Ipad on the Registration Table.
When you leave the Antlers parking garage, the cameras will read your license plate, and the gates will open.
Don't forget to bring your rear license plate number on Friday!
