Getting thereArrival timing, parking, transit and getting home
Localtime
When to arrive
The Aud is at 400 East Avenue in Kitchener. Match your ticket to Dom Cardillo Arena rather than the campus’s Kinsmen/Kiwanis rinks or baseball park. Lots C–G are general free parking; Lot B requires at least three people in the vehicle. Lot A is reserved for Rangers season parking passes and becomes a paid lot for special events such as concerts. Luxury-suite parking requires its own permit. Event emails provide special-event prices/opening times; do not assume every campus lot is free or available.
Transit & the journey home
Kitchener Memorial Auditorium is the multi-venue sports complex at 400 East Avenue, containing the main arena plus community spaces, Jack Couch Ball Park, and Centennial Stadium.
Confirm return service and last departures for your event’s finish time.
Parking

Parking difficulty
Venue-specific plan required
- What to do
- Lots C–G are free general event parking. Lot B requires at least three people in the vehicle and has eight marked accessible spaces. Lot A is for prepaid season pass holders at Rangers games; for special events it is paid, with the price and opening time in the pre-event email. Use the city’s lot map to match the parking area to your entrance.
- Best option
- Use free Lots C–G for general parking. With three or more people, Lot B is another option.
- Avoid
- Driving into the suite-pass lot or assuming Lot A is available without a pass at a Rangers game.
