    In two weeks I'm going to downtown Minneapolis for four nights and I need to find a safe place to park a bob-tail. I was thinking of parking down near the airport and then taking the light rail into downtown. Any ideas? Thanks

    There is parking right near Mall of America Next to the Ikea store. Big open lot there. Trucks and busses park there all the time. Take the light rail from MOA.

    Thank you, just what I needed. Looking on google maps I see the lot labeled as 'MOA Parking'. This is a spot where people leave their trucks for few days when they're doing home time? and not just shopping at MOA?
    I need to be sure since I'm leaving my truck for five days. Thanks again.

    It is right on the corner of American Blvd and Thunderbird Rd. No problem to park there.

    Hello, I'm the OP, and I going back to Minneapolis again in two weeks. The Mall of America closed their truck lot so I'm looking for a place to park a bob-tail again. The Convention Center has parking behind the building but they want $70 per night. Any suggestions appreciated, thanks again

    Wouldn't it be cheaper to use those reserve parking found at t/a or pilot? Not sure how much maybe $12 per 24 hours? How long are u planning on parkin the truck

    Any truck stop will let you park, just talk to the manager and park in the back. A $20 cash donation to the employee tip jar always helps.
