A downtown hotel on Donald Street that says it’s steps away from Canada Life Centre, the home of the Jets. Its parkade connects to the hotel by an indoor skywalk.
On-site parking is limited, at C$22 per vehicle a night, a fee the hotel says may change. There’s no breakfast on site: Cibo Waterfront Cafe, steps behind the hotel, doesn’t open for breakfast.
Getting to the game
Take a rideshare to a drop-off lane the arena lists, such as eastbound Portage Avenue between Carlton and Hargrave streets, or ride one of the Winnipeg Transit routes into the Graham Avenue Transit Corridor.
Getting back
Request a pickup from one of the same lanes, such as westbound Portage Avenue between Donald and Hargrave streets, or plan your bus back in Navigo, Winnipeg Transit’s trip planner.
From Donald Street on footDowntown and the arena districtwalk
Getting there
Walk along Donald Street or Hargrave Street to the arena on Portage Avenue, between Hargrave and Donald. The arena publishes no standard doors-open time, so check your event page.
Getting back
Walk back with the crowd to your hotel on Donald Street.
There’s no re-entry once you leave, and no bag check on site, so leave larger bags at the hotel.

Getting there
Request a drop-off at one of the taxi and rideshare loading zones the arena’s fan guide lists: eastbound Portage Avenue between Carlton and Hargrave streets, or Donald Street between Graham and St. Mary avenues. The directions page lists more drop-off lanes, such as westbound Portage between Donald and Hargrave.
Getting back
Walk to one of the same zones and request a pickup. Donald Street’s west side between Portage and Graham is for Handi-Transit only.
The arena publishes no rideshare fares or wait times.
From the Exchange or The Forks by busExchange District and The Forkstransit
Getting there
Plan a Winnipeg Transit bus in Navigo to the Graham Avenue Transit Corridor, at the arena’s doorstep. Winnipeg Transit counts 5 bus stops within a one-minute walk of the arena.
Getting back
Walk back to the Graham Avenue Transit Corridor and plan your bus home in Navigo.
The arena lists the routes that serve all events, but neither its pages nor Winnipeg Transit’s rider guide gives last-bus times after a game, so check Navigo for your date or call 311.
Drive downtown and parkWinnipeg Richardson International Airportdrive
Getting there
Drive downtown to Portage Avenue and park in a Platinum Parking lot you booked ahead through ParkMobile or ParkWhiz, both linked from the arena’s parking page.
Getting back
Walk back to your lot and drive out with the crowd.
Platinum Parking, the arena’s preferred provider, offers more than 1,700 stalls to book ahead, but the arena publishes no price.
We may earn a commission. Rates and availability are confirmed with the provider.

Stay in the heritage Exchange District or at The Forks, where the rivers meet, with more restaurants and pubs, and ride to the arena.

The tradeoff
