BC Place Parking or Transit Recommendations Please
 
Family of 4, visiting Vancouver in July. We were fortunate enough to get tickets to the World Cup final. We will have a car during our visit.

I'm thinking it might be easier (and cheaper) to park away from downtown and take public transportation to the stadium? Or is the parking situation around BC Place good? Any recommendations would be appreciated! TIA!

Where are you coming from? What part of the lower mainland?
Most likely it would be better to take sky train, there is parking but can be time consuming not only finding parking, but getting out of the parking area when the event is over. and costly.
I always take transit and leave the car at the hotel.

Thanks for the response live42day! We're staying in a home in the North Lonsdale neighborhood. I looked at the trip planner on the TransLink website and they are recommending to take the SeaBus from Lonsdale Quay to the Waterfront, then the Expo Line to Chinatown/Stadium station. Your thoughts?

Easy-peasy...that's the route we take to the stadium from N.Van. So much faster and easier than trying
to park. And cheaper by far!
