REDBLACKS games. Sources differ. TD Place says underground parking is not available when there is an Ottawa REDBLACKS game. Its page gives a closing time of 3 hours before each game and says prepaid parking is not offered for REDBLACKS games.

Other events. The price varies by event. The parking office is at 613-690-0510.
Prepaid parking. TD Place recommends buying parking in advance through Ticketmaster and says to check which events offer it. Prepaid parking has no in-and-out privileges.

Shuttles and parking away from the garage on REDBLACKS game days
The information in this section is the REDBLACKS’, from the team’s transportation page, which refers to the 2026 season. The team encourages all vehicles without a prepaid pass to use the free shuttles or OC Transpo.

- Canada Post headquarters, 2701 Riverside Drive. The REDBLACKS list a free shuttle to TD Place, with no changes for the 2026 season. The team says drop-off and post-game pick-up at TD Place are at the Shuttle Loop near Queen Elizabeth Drive, because of Lansdowne 2.0 construction.

Construction and road work: October 2026
The underground garage, the internal streets, and the businesses and restaurants at Lansdowne are open during Lansdowne 2.0 construction.
Exhibition Way, September 21 to October 16 2026. The City of Ottawa’s notice of September 17 2026 says part of Exhibition Way is closed to vehicles while crews remove pavers and excavate between the Aberdeen Pavilion and TD Place Arena to install new sewer and electrical infrastructure. The notice gives the closed section two ways. Its “What” paragraph says the road is closed to vehicles between Service Way and Marché Way. Its “Traffic impacts” paragraph says between Paul Askin Way and Marché Way. A signed detour takes vehicles around the closed area by Service Way and Marché Way. The north sidewalk stays open and accessible, and pedestrian and cyclist access is maintained to and through Exhibition Way. Access to the underground garage from Queen Elizabeth Drive and from Exhibition Way, and residential access off Holmwood Avenue, remain open. All businesses remain open and accessible during construction. Work is during regular weekday hours, Monday to Friday. The notice does not say whether the road reopens on weekends.
Games on October 16 to 18 2026. The REDBLACKS host the Toronto Argonauts on October 16 2026, the last day of the closure. The Ottawa 67’s and Atlético Ottawa are at home on October 17 2026, and Ottawa Rapid FC is at home on October 18 2026.
On the drive in. TD Place lists work on Highway 417 between Island Park and Kent, with lane and ramp closures, and ongoing lane closures on Bank Street.
Electric vehicle charging
The garage has four charging stations in Section D. Charging costs $0.60 per hour for the first five hours and $1.00 per hour after that.
Accessible parking
Accessible parking in the garage is limited. On event days it is first come, first served, and a permit is required.
The free ride with an event ticket includes the Para Transpo fare.
Transit and cycling
By bus on any day. OC Transpo routes 6 and 7 serve Lansdowne daily.
By bus to a major stadium event. Six more routes run for major stadium events only:
- 450 Rideau
- 451 Blair

The REDBLACKS list these buses as running from 2 hours before kickoff until 90 minutes after the game.
By shuttle to a REDBLACKS game. The REDBLACKS list free shuttles from Carleton University and from Canada Post headquarters. The team says they are free with a game ticket and run from 2 hours before kickoff until 90 minutes after the final whistle.
Free with an event ticket. OC Transpo rides are free from three hours before an event to three hours after it. OC Transpo asks riders to show the ticket to the operator. TD Place’s stadium guide and the REDBLACKS give the same window. At an LRT fare gate, the REDBLACKS say to press the call button: an operator verifies the ticket and opens the gate. TD Place’s stadium guide adds that STO routes are not free for some TD Place events. The REDBLACKS list STO among the services that are free with a game ticket on REDBLACKS game days.
By bike. The site has more than 600 bike parking spaces. TD Place’s stadium guide says secure bike parking is free during REDBLACKS games. The REDBLACKS list a free bike valet at the west end of Aberdeen Plaza, near Milestones, that opens 90 minutes before the game and closes 45 minutes after the final whistle.
