OT: Where to park at the ACC? 

Post#1 » by TheRaptor! » Tue Feb 12, 2008 3:08 am

I just got tickets to the Nets game on wednesday, in the past, I got someone to drop me off at the ACC while they shopped at Eatons, but this time, I'm on my own. Is there any place to park my car? How much is it? Thanks

If you can it's a lot easier taking the subway or the Go Train into the ACC.

Unfortunately I can't. I kinda remember there being some parking spots right beside the ACC? I'm not quite sure.

Thanks for any help.

Across the ACC, behind the parking lot, there are condos on Grand Trunk Rd, basically if you get there early enough you can park along the side there for free. I know this because my cousin lives in that condo.

I used to park right at the ACC...$ 20.00 + you wait like crazy post-game so....

Most of the time I go to the Green P underground parking on the corner of Bay & Front St.
I could be wrong but IIRC evenings max out at $ 7.00 on weekends and may be cheaper during weekdays.
edit: this parking location is off Bay St (right across the Royal York)

and yeah there's the gravel parking lot right across the ACC (off Yonge I believe).

Try parking in the lot across from the main gates of the Rogers Centre. Pay by the hour and you wont pay more than 6$

I don't remember the streetnames. But by the water there's a indoor parking garage that's $10 that I usually park at. Bout a 4-5 minute walk to the front doors of the ACC.

tonight I parked as close as I could find (on Bay, across from ACC).
On this frigid temperature, my $20 went a long way...

As a season ticket holder who goes to a most of the games, I find that the municipal (green P) underground parking across from the Royal York (entrance on the west side of york street is the best as they only charge $6.00 from 6-10:00. It's also right across from the ACC and closer than all of those surface lots on Front St. There's also an entrance coming down from university right next to the Jack Astor's on front.

Season ticket holders can also park at the RBC plaza parking for $5...all you need to do is "prove" you're a season ticket holder by showing your ticket (the special ones with the nice pictures on it). However, I often find that the traffic to get in is too ridiculous and sometimes the lot is full yet cars are waiting to get in and this backs up the traffic on wellington. It's much easier to get in and out of the parking that I mentioned on York St.

Don't see how you guys can complain about 25 bucks. Seattle Seahawks games parking cannot be found for under 40 within walking distance. I kid you not. :nonono:
