Bell Centre (formerly the Centre Bell and Molson Centre) is home to the NHL Montreal Canadiens team. The address sits out in 1909 avenue des Canadiens-de-Montréal, Montreal QC H4B 5G0. In addition to hockey games, you can find many concerts and events at this arena.
Here are the Montreal Canadiens parking tips below.
Official Parking at Barclays Center
There are official parking lots directly next to the hockey venue for fans to use for a match or concert. Visit the team’s official parking page to see the parking map and buy parking for your next event.
Also, it is worth noting that the parking rates at Bell Centre can go up depending on the event. For example, a playoff hockey game will result in parking rates to increase compared to a regular season game.
Bell Centre Handicap Parking Spots
Fans can use the drop-off and pick-up area outside the stadium to drop off fans with mobility limitations. Use the corner of De la Montagne and Avenue des Canadiens or Drummond and Avenue des Canadiens to bring fans up to the main gate for drop-offs and pick-ups.
Can you Tailgate in the Parking Lots?
There is no tailgating at the arena or parking lots, but there are plenty of bars in the downtown area to visit. Some bars include Bier Markt Montreal, Café Et Restaurant Toot, and Ye Olde Orchard Pub. Generally speaking, you won’t be able to get into the arena until one hour before the puck drops, so bar hopping is the way to go.
Also, be sure to visit the Bell Centre Bag Policy guide to see what bags you can bring into the arena. Check out the Bell Centre food guide to see what the food options are at the venue to eat.
Should I Take Public Transportation?
There are plenty of ways to move around downtown Montreal via public transportation. Fans can use the METRO to the Lucien-L’Allier & Bonaventure stops.
In addition to taking the Metro, fans can use a rideshare program like Uber and Lyft to get to and from the venue. Finally, fans can also bike to get to and from the Montreal Canadiens venue.
