Parking & Transportation

Free parking is available around the stadium, subject to availability. Winnipeg Transit will release its transportation schedule approximately two weeks before Canada Day. Visitors are encouraged to walk or bike to the stadium when possible, and complimentary bike valet service will be available.

Important Parking & Traffic Notice

Due to City of Winnipeg construction, eastbound access from University Crescent onto Abinojii Mikanah is closed until approximately August 3. To help avoid delays after the event, visitors are encouraged not to park in lots accessed from University Crescent. Instead, enter the stadium via Chancellor Matheson Road and use the U Lot or Soccer Lot, based on availability. After the celebration, traffic exiting via University Crescent will be directed northbound onto Pembina Highway, so please allow additional travel time.
