Admin Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Can someone write a summary of all the ways people can get to Hamilton on a Sunday. From downtown Toronto From Pearson From the Asylum SPECIFIC QUESTIONS THAT NEED TO BE ANSWERED IN DETAIL. This means bus numbers, line name, stops, ect. Not a 'just do this' answer. We need to know if such things are running or not, and you can't guess. You need to go and find out the answer.Train to Hamilton Train - Union -> Aldershot + bus Train - Union -> Hamilton Train - Eastbound -> HamiltonBut to Hamilton Bus - Union -> Hamilton Bus - Pearson -> Hamilton Bus - other locations -> Hamilton In Hamilton Available car ride services in Hamilton. Taxi Phone numbers Bus - Downtown Hamilton -> THF Walking distances -> Go Stations, bus and train -> THF ESG Shawn and Edgewater17 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cicero Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 (edited) 1 hour ago, narduch said: Good places to park near the stadium may be helpful Renting out driveways is a secondary business for most people in the neighbourhood, so you'll find lots of houses with parking spots around the stadium. Just north of Barton several of the parking lots beside FreshCo are pay parking during events. For Forge games, they rent out parking spaces in the lot of the demolished industrial building at the end of Chapple Street. Aside from the lot right beside the stadium at King George Public School (former), there isn't much official parking. It's not a problem for Forge games. Ticats fans might have some other suggestions. Edited January 26, 2022 by Cicero narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gator Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 When you arrive in Hamilton at either West Harbour GO station or Hamilton GO Center public transit is close by, the #2 Barton is your best option from either station, it terminates at the Hamilton GO Center, from West Harbour you have to walk 4 or 5 blocks along Barton west towards John St. to catch it, get off at Melrose, you will see the stadium https://www.hamilton.ca/sites/default/files/media/browser/2021-12-23/route-2-barton-winter2021.pdf To keep your bearings when you look towards the escarpment that is South hence to go East to the stadium you head left The walk from West Harbour or Hamilton GO Center is about 4K to THF! If you are driving I suggest you take QEW Niagara over the Burlington Skyway and exit at Nikola Tesla Blvd and Head West to Gage Avenue!

Yes, it's a big box mall. Lots of parking, probably 15-20 minute walk for most people. theaub 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gator Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 I suggested The Center on Barton in another thread for parking, it's a short walk as @Cicero mentions! Pottsy3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the stadium is close to the industrial north end of the city we just can check out behind factories and warehouses, there are always lots of empty barrels around, sometimes there may be a bit of chemical residue in them but that is no big deal and may aid in igniting the fire! longlugan, Califax and Metro 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeelaw Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 (edited) For those with wee ones at home, and trying to avoid bringing anything but three points back. Is the Bench Brewery Concourse Bar in Tim Hortons Field open? I think I gotta avoid indoors all day.

I am in a similar position to you Zack with my wife being a caregiver for our son in the hospital so an abundance of caution will be in order, in saying that I am comfortable in the concourse bars as they are close to being an outdoor environment and if concessions are open I suspect all the concourse bars will be as well!

Does anyone know if it’ll affect travel into Hamilton this weekend… driving in from Ottawa I'm driving from Ottawa on Saturday and I was thinking (hoping) that it won't be an issue because we'll be going opposite directions. If you're driving on Sunday though it might cause problems depending on how many actually make it to Ottawa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
