Accessible parking and drop-off
The Getting Here page lists accessible parking in Lot 2, Lot 3 and Saddledome Lot A, and in Lot 10, Lot 8, Lot 20 or the Remington lot just north of 11 Avenue SE. The accessibility page lists only the second group. All charge the prevailing rate with no in-and-out privileges, and spaces are limited and first-come, first-served.
The accessibility page names two drop-off points: the northwest side, through the Stampede Park gates at Olympic Way (now Stampede Trail, according to CMLC), charged at the Stampede Park rate and refunded if the vehicle leaves within half an hour; and the north side, through the Saddledome Rise entrance at 14th Avenue and 5th Street SE. Taxis and rideshare use the West Plaza on Stampede Trail between the Saddledome and the BMO Centre, or the 17th Ave Extension.
Lot details for BMO Centre and grounds events are on Stampede Park parking and transit; the train option is on the Victoria Park/Stampede CTrain station guide.
