Edmonton Elks fans will once again be able to use pre-purchased, game-day tickets to access Edmonton Transit Service on their way to and from home games at Commonwealth Stadium this season. Football Park & Ride starts on May 25, for the Edmonton Elks pre-season game versus the Saskatchewan Roughriders, and continues for home games throughout the season.
Game-day tickets can be used as fare for Park & Ride service, as well as on regular bus or LRT service for two hours before the game, during the game and two hours after the game ends.
Starting 90 minutes before game-time, Football Park & Ride buses will operate from the following locations:
- Eaux Claires Lot: 97 Street and 157 Avenue
- Lewis Farms:1021 Webber Greens Drive
- Note: this location has limited parking spots due to Valley Line West LRT construction
- NAIT Lots A/B and D:109 Street and 118 Avenue
- Note: parking is $6 at these lots.
- Nakî Transit Centre (St. Albert): 15520 Campbell Road
Bus Park & Ride Service has been replaced with the Valley Line Southeast at Davies Station. Riders can continue to park for free at Davies Transit Centre, but they can now take the train to Churchill Station and transfer to the Capital Line to Stadium Station, which is a short walk from Commonwealth Stadium. Game-day tickets will count as fare on the Valley Line Southeast.
Elks fans can also directly take the Capital Line LRT to Stadium Station near Commonwealth Stadium. Capital Line trains will run at regular service frequency on Elks home game days.
Routes 2 and 101 can take riders to the Stadium Transit Centre. Route 3 will use a temporary stop near Commonwealth Stadium on 86 Street/112 Avenue, as this route detours from Stadium Transit Centre on Edmonton Elks home game days.
Know Before You Go at Commonwealth Stadium:
All guests are encouraged to arrive and enter Commonwealth Stadium early to go through security screening lines. Gates will open 60 minutes prior to game time. The clear bag policy is in effect.
There will also be supervised bike parking at the north east corner of Clarke Stadium. Signs will guide you to the drop-off and pick up location.
Please note that parking restrictions in neighbourhoods around the stadium will be in effect for game days. When restrictions are in place, only residents with valid parking permits can park on the streets in those areas.
