Bags & entry

Only small purse-type bags smaller than 16.5 × 11.5 cm (6.5 × 4.5 inches) are generally permitted, with or without a strap/handle. Bags are searched. If medical or other needs require a larger bag, contact MLSE before the event to arrange security inspection. Noncompliant bags can be refused; check your actual show rather than assuming the neighbouring Scotiabank Arena’s bag-check service applies here.

Coca-Cola Coliseum’s standard bag policy permits only small purse/clutch bags smaller than 6.5 × 4.5 inches, with security-inspected medical/other exceptions arranged with MLSE. Do not borrow nearby BMO Field’s larger clear-bag allowance.

Compare the size with the bag category above; security also applies the listed material and style restrictions.

Event-specific entry instructions take precedence.

Drawings are not to scale or an orientation guide. Check every side against the venue’s listed measurements.

Pick a bag to compare it with Coca-Cola Coliseum's published limit.

Dimensions only: bag type, contents, material and screening rules still apply. Preset sizes are typical, not your exact bag. Security staff make the final call at the gate.

Localtime

When to arrive

Coca-Cola Coliseum is at 19 Nunavut Road in Exhibition Place. Prepare the mobile ticket before travelling because the current FAQ says there is no venue Wi-Fi. Follow the gate and door time on the exact performance’s ticket. The existing official hockey chart is a section reference; concert stage placement and temporary floor chairs can differ. New concert photographs illustrate two sample productions rather than guaranteed views for your ticket.

Transit & the journey home

Take the Lakeshore West GO train to Exhibition, one stop and about seven minutes from Union before the short walk. TTC routes 509, 511, and 29 also serve Exhibition Place, but current streetcar trips may include replacement-bus transfers.

Confirm return service and last departures for your event’s finish time.

Parking At A Glance

High when Exhibition Place has overlapping events

What to do
More than 5,000 Exhibition Place spaces are shared across the grounds and can become limited. The venue lists typical rates of $12–$15, with higher prices possible when another event overlaps.
Best option
Exhibition GO for the lowest parking risk; drivers needing accessible parking should use Lot 3 southwest of the arena, where spaces are first-come, first-served
Avoid
Using the Enercare Centre underground accessible parking when elevator access is required; the venue says there is no direct elevator route from that garage

Arrival & transportation

Load the mobile ticket before reaching Exhibition Place, note the gate number printed above its barcode, and use that assigned entrance; the arena does not offer public Wi-Fi.

Mixed

Seat & section strategy

Hockey capacity is 8,140, while concert capacity ranges from about 4,100 to 9,250 with the stage setup. Accessible sections carry an A suffix and should be purchased in advance rather than relying on a day-of relocation.

03

Positive

Event-day character

The 1922 Coliseum was rebuilt as a modern arena in 2003 but retains a compact scale. For Marlies games, dress in layers because the building is kept cooler for the ice and has no coat check.

Inside the venuePayment, water and the atmosphere

Payment

The Coliseum is cashless. Debit/credit cards are accepted at the ticket office and merchandise store; the FAQ lists Visa, Mastercard and American Express. Bring a supported method before arrival and confirm concession/contactless options for your purchase. The reviewed guidance does not establish a cash-to-card service.

Water & drinks

Outside food/drinks are prohibited. Specific food/beverage needed for allergies or medical conditions requires prior management approval through Fan Services at 416-815-5982. The FAQ lists one drinking fountain behind section 113 but does not establish a general empty-bottle allowance. Confirm containers and necessary feeding items before travel.

The experience

  • Best for: Marlies hockey, Toronto Tempo basketball, and arena concerts in a smaller room than Scotiabank Arena, with Exhibition GO a short walk away.
  • Watch out for: Coca-Cola Coliseum’s standard bag policy permits only small purse/clutch bags smaller than 6.5 × 4.5 inches, with security-inspected medical/other exceptions arranged with MLSE. Do not borrow nearby BMO Field’s larger clear-bag allowance. Re-entry is not permitted, and there is no coat check. Fan Services is behind Section 117 and First Aid behind Section 107. Wear layers for hockey; the venue says ice conditions keep the older building cooler, while other event temperatures vary. Accessible seating sections carry an A suffix and should be arranged for the actual event.
Sources & review

Why it works

  • ✓Exhibition GO is a short walk away and roughly seven minutes from Union on the train.
  • ✓The 8,140-seat hockey setup gives Marlies games and most Tempo dates a more compact scale than Toronto's major downtown arena.
  • ✓Sensory bags and a quiet area are available through Fan Services behind section 117.

Know before you book

  • ×There is no public Wi-Fi, so a mobile ticket should be loaded before arrival.
  • ×Only very small purse-style bags under 6.5 by 4.5 inches are admitted under the standard policy, and every bag is searched.
  • ×Parking is shared with the rest of Exhibition Place, and accessible visitors should not use the underground Enercare Centre garage when they need elevator access.
