For those heading to Commonwealth Stadium on Sunday for the NHL's Heritage Classic, public transit is probably their most convenient option. As fans who attend football games and other events at Edmonton's outdoor stadium know, city transit's LRT system and park-and-ride bus option drop spectators off outside the venue, which will seat upwards of 60,000 for the Edmonton Oilers-Calgary Flames clash that's set to begin at 5 p.m., with the gates at Commonwealth opening at 3 p.m. Gates open at 1 p.m. at nearby Clarke Stadium for a pre-game concert. LRT trains on the Capital Line, which will run more frequently starting at 3 p.m., stop at the recently renovated Stadium station. Free parking for riders is also available at Clareview and Belvedere LRT stations. Ticket-holders considering the park-and-ride bus option, which will run every 10 minutes starting at 12:45 p.m. then every five minutes starting at 3 p.m., can access the service at one of five lots across the city, four of which offer free parking: Bus routes 2, 3 and 101 provide bus service to the stadium. Unlike for Edmonton Elks' CFL games, regular fares apply for transit options to the stadium for the Heritage Classic. BESIDES PUBLIC TRANSIT: ALSO:
