Find parking nearHerb Brooks Statue

The Herb Brooks Statue in downtown Saint Paul celebrates the legendary coach of the 1980 “Miracle on Ice” U.S. Olympic hockey team, capturing him with arms outstretched in triumph just outside the Xcel Energy Center and overlooking Rice Park. This larger-than-life bronze tribute is a popular stop for sports fans and visitors who want a photo with one of Minnesota’s most beloved hometown figures before or after a game, concert, or day at nearby museums and riverfront attractions.

The surrounding streets can be busy, especially during Minnesota Wild games, major events, and rush-hour commuting times, which makes it smart to secure parking near Herb Brooks Statue in advance to avoid circling crowded downtown blocks. While there is some metered street parking in the area, time limits, active enforcement, and competition for spaces can make it challenging, particularly on event days or during peak hours. Booking parking ahead of time helps ensure a smoother visit so you can focus on enjoying the statue and the neighborhood, and visitors should always review the latest city parking rules and official guidance before they arrive.
