Keegan Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 We are driving up tomorrow four of us between 17-18 from St. Catharines so we have no clue where to park now that the Ex is going on. Anyone have any advice as to where we could park reasonably close to BMO and the pubs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Lamport Stadium. Check the map in the March thread to see where it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niagara Hammer Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I am going for broke and making a run for the south lot. I am going n=mid afternoon, If we are lucky we can go to the midway. Lamport might be our plan B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niagara Hammer Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Last time I checked they were $11 for a day pass (a couple of years ago) The problem is that after the game the train runs through Exhibition Satation at 49 minutes every hour.

Ivan Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I am going to drive too, after work. Not looking forward to that portion of the evening. I take the Go many times and it is good, just don't want to tomorrow. My wife usually gets the tickets, but it is about 10 bucks for a return trip. Usually use Burlington Station. I have only used it once for a BMO Field trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone answer me this though... will we be able to get home? As in do GO trains run 24/7? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Yes, they run every hour, at least until 12:00 am. Not sure what time the last one leaves though. What team did you play with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dare431 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Keegan the last train goes until 12:49am, the last stop (on train) from exhibition is Aldershot station. A group pass works out quite well, it's around $34 from Aldershot to Exhibition. Since kickoff is at 7:30 - (9:30 roughly) you won't have to wait long for the train back home, there's one that leaves at 9:49pm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dare431 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Have a look at http://www.gotransit.com I drove into BMO a couple of times and I won't ever do it again. Even if you're parked right outside the stadium it will take you forever to leave (making the 50 minute usual wait for the train even quicker). Have a look, a group pass is good for 5 people.

I wouldn't even drive anywhere close to BMO Field tonight. The Blue Jays-Yankees game starts at the same time as the match, and that means a rush hour nightmare this evening on the QEW/Gardiner. GO is definitely the way to travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct. especially about parking inside the CNE at the stadium. Parking there means that it could take you up to two hours to get out. Furthermore you pay a huge premium just to park there. But after several runs, you begin to clue in and get better at knowing where short cuts are, how to avoid the dense traffic, and where the good parking is at reasonable prices. For me, this year has been an improvement. Last year was a nighmare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
