page1of1 Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Apologies if this has been discussed before. It's going to be my first trip to BMO Field so I just wanted to be totally sure about where everything is lol. I'm taking the 509 streetcar from Union and getting off at Exhibition Place. When you're walking from the bus stop to BMO Field, will it be pretty obvious where the stadium is? We'd probably walk southwards ? Any short cuts, tips, etc. to keep in mind? Thanks!

squizz1402635577 Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Follow the smell of horse crap. No, seriously. When you get off the streetcar at the CNE Loop (Exhibition Place), turn right (heading west) and you'll walk past some horse stables. Walk for a minute and you'll see BMO Field on your left. You can't miss it. Tips: If you see any scalpers, don't dignify their existence by making eye contact or responding to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dare431 Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Squizz is absolutely right about the scalpers. I swear a few of them do that full time, they're pretty big arseholes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
page1of1 Posted May 25, 2009 Author Share Posted May 25, 2009 LOL great tips! I guess if there's any silver linings to having creepy scalpers at the game, it means that women's soccer has finally made it and people aside from fans actually know that it exists. Does anyone know how long it takes for the 509 to get to Exhibition Place? I'm meeting someone at 6 before heading out to Union, but I have a feeling I should give myself some more time than that.

rdroze Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 The ride from Union is not too long (maybe 10 minutes), but the bigger problem may be that it's rush hour, so you might have to wait a few cars to get on. Also, be sure not to get on the 510 by mistake, which also boards at the same place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not being able to find BMO from the exhibition stop would be a lot like not being able to find the CN tower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket Robin Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 streetcar track maintenance meant there were shuttlebuses to Spadina...then a car got stuck on the embankment and blocke the streetcar tracks so the shuttlebus went to Bathurst before rejoining the streetcar route.
