Was at the dome on the weekend and it made it a LOT faster getting in. Just remember to pay as I assume they will check every plate in the lot during the game.

There must be a number of lots missing with the new rink construction. Wondering how that’s going to work out.

So who gets the parking revenue?
And is ParkPlus just used for Flames and Hitmen games? What about other events at the Dome like concerts and such?

Went to Raw the other week with the kidlet and a buddy and it was really nice to be able to just pull in and grab a spot. They did have some pay stations set up around the lot at the time. the first one I used didn't work at all but the second one did...but didn't print a receipt.
Probably just use the app lol

Would assume all events, they don't even have the "huts" anymore.

It was running at the Kings of Leon concert. $18! Wasn't it $15 last season or was that 2 years ago?

In 2021/22, prior to what was supposed to be the start of construction on the new rink, they turned the old railyard land north of 11th Ave into a surface parking lot.
It should have enough space to replace the lots that were where the building is being built.

And just for clarity, you DON'T need the app to run park plus.
Texting works great.

The Stampede hired ParkPlus to manage parking given the changes coming with 17th ave connecting to the Park. Stampede will still get all revenue with a fee to the city.
ParkPlus will be in place for all events except a few weeks before and after, and during the Stampede due to the nuances associated with running the event.
This link was sent out to the Board of Directors and I assume all volunteers of the CS: https://volunteers.calgarystampede.c...ng-information

Sad to see them go, but's it's nice that a good hockey city gets them.

Yeah, it’s all events.
I think the thread title is a little misleading, as it’s the Stampede that has switched, not the Flames exactly.

How do you text your payment information?

You still need a ParkPlus account, just not the app. Payment info saved to your account. Can call in for parking as well.

Totally sidetracking this discussion, but I'm always curious why so many folks drive to games, pay for parking and fight all the traffic. I'm from out of town and went to a game a couple years ago. Parked at a park and ride and took the C-train in with my family. It was easy and convenient and gave some extra fun post-game enjoyment with all the fans on the train.

They'd need an army.
That being said, I think this is a good step, I find paying by app to considerably more convenient.

A few park plus vehicles would be able to scan the entire lot in no time.

Yup, prepay money into the account - can be done on the web. setup your licence plates and phone numbers in your account.
Then, all you need to do is text "Start 1234" to start, and "End 1234" to end. No plate numbers, no payment information.
