Looking for advice

[Trouty]

I was joking. The official lots are 50-75 dollars. The regular parking spaces on side streets start at 20.

Thanks for clearing that up, Theebs!

I can't believe it's that expensive, brother.

@Section444, is it really that much?

There's much cheaper parking at restaurants along Collins.

That can't be right. I used to park on the street in Montreal for Habs games and it was free after 5 PM. So would go early, watch some strippers, park for nothing and take in the game at 8PM.

Tu es de Montréal??? Je ne savais pas ça!?! Et les filles là-bas...ooh là là!?! Incroyable!

Finally got all of the pieces together for my vacation to see the 'Boys play the Chiefs and I'm looking for recommendations on tailgating and parking. I was out there a few years back and I stopped at an awesome Mexican Restaurant and if you ate there and spent a certain dollar amount they would let you park for like $20. Can anyone tell me if there are still restaurants that do these kinds of deals? Also would like some feedback on the tailgating in the area, are the ones hosted by ex-Cowboys worth the price? Thanks in advance for any advice. Mods if this is in the wrong location I apologize.

Loud place to catch a game...GOOD LUCK! And please report back on any BBQ consumed while on your trip...love me some KC-style BBQ!?!

Last time we hired someone to drive us to the game. They dropped us off and picked us up across the street at the convenience store. We saved money and time!

No! But at different times I lived close by. When l first started going to Habs games a standing room ticket at the top of the reds which was very close to the ice was 3 dollars Canadian. You could go next door to Mo's diner after the games and talk with players from the Habs and visiting teams...didn't need security in those days.

Sweet...when I was in school in Beantown (obviously big hockey town) my Canadian roommate (a college hockey player) and I made a couple of trips up north (actually had some buds who went to McGuill University which made for a nice time during the visit). Patrick Roy was the goalkeep in those days so it was a pretty amazing experience. Saw them against the Kings in the finals one of those times and got to see the Great One...that was the Marty McSorley (sp?) curved stick game.

Montreal and Vancouver are some of the nicest cities I've ever visited...in fact, I'd say ALL of Canada's major cities are beautiful (love Toronto, too!). Good stuff!

My advice is watch the game on TV.

Well...I was at those LA playoff games and McSorley's stick game and watched the great Patrick win Stanley Cups for the Canadiens by himself...enjoyed all of Drydens career too. The Habs had some great teams...I loved those old time showdowns with the mighty Bruins too. Met many of the old Bruin players in bars etc around Montreal..from Cashman to O'Reilly..many others. Hockey was real then and those boys came to play and hated to lose to each other. There was no kissing or trading jersey's after the games.

Just park in one of the shops across the highway and cab/uber/lyft over

Call Lance at Ticket Source. He will hook you up.

There are many businesses and places along all the roads that will let you park for around 20 dollars and then walk a block or so. It's not that bad.
