Getting Around
In order to reduce congestion, the Edmonton Transit Service (ETS) and Edmonton Eskimos have teamed up to provide free express shuttles, as well as park-and-ride services for those with a pre-purchased ticket. Shuttles start 90 minutes before the game. For a list of park-and-ride parking lots check their website.
Riding the ETS is also free upon showing an Eskimo ticket to the driver 2 hours prior, during and 2 hours after the game. Those without pre-purchased tickets will have to pay the regular fare of $3.25 per adult. Remember to save your ticket stub for a free ride back from the game. The Stadium LRT and Bus Station is a 4-minute walk from the stadium.
The city of Edmonton is relatively safe during the day, but as in any large city, caution is recommended at night. A large number of taxi services are also available for guests to get home safely. While there is a taxi stand outside of the stadium, guests can also call one of the listed numbers for a taxi.
Parking
A residential parking ban is in effect before and during the game on all streets surrounding the stadium. Signs are posted, and a map of restricted areas is also available on their website. Any vehicle parked on these streets not displaying a valid residential parking permit will be towed.
The City of Edmonton strongly urges people to take public transit, and offers a free park-and-ride service for those with a valid ticket or stub.
