Know before you book
- ×The open-air stands require real heat, cold, wind, or rain preparation, while umbrellas must remain closed inside the stadium.
- ×On-site parking is limited and may sell out, making an unplanned driving arrival particularly vulnerable to Bank Street congestion.
- ×Re-entry is decided event by event rather than guaranteed by the venue, so leaving the gates without confirming the day's policy can end the visit.

Editorial verdict
FanProof Takeaway
Reviewed 8.8.26
Use the ticket's included OC Transpo window and Routes 6 or 7 instead of gambling on Lansdowne parking. Pick North or South seating with the sport, row, and weather in mind, arrive with a mobile ticket and under-seat bag, and use Gate 4 for accessible support.
