Essentially a 10 min brisk walk radius.
I see a lot of people that go just outside that and walk in. Gives you an extra 30 or so minutes of walking.
And yes, there are a lot of park and rides throughout the city if bussing in works better for you.
I do think the U of M site is better than the Red River Ex. They have similar roadways going in/out (sorry Cory B, I don't buy that the current layout would move way more traffic than U of M does), but that the BRT line was built to the U of M and serves the stadium on game days very well.
I really doubt the stadium at the Ex site would have drastically shifted our city's current snail pace on building dedicated transit infrastructure to have a proper BRT line out there by this point. |
I still remember 30 years ago, when my Dad and I would park a block from the old railroad bridge in River Heights, and just walk across down empress to the stadium. It took 20 minutes each way, and really, it's not bad. Many people in the area were doing this. To say that walking 10+ minutes each way is why one would not attend Bomber games, is pretty lazy.
PS...I just checked out that parking map. A good idea may be to park at Superstore just off Bison Drive, and walk across Pembina to the stadium.
