Parking along all major streets leading into the stadium and in university lots reserved for students and staff is also restricted.
Anyone who parks on restricted streets can be ticketed and towed.
Parking on campus will be available for more than 5,000 vehicles with pre-purchased parking passes.
Just over 1,000 passes are still available in total, at a cost of $210 each.
As Global News reported last week, “booster” businesses in the area will offer parking for fans at a cost. Each business will set its own price but initial estimates range from $10-$15 per event.
The Bombers are encouraging fans to use transit and active transportation.
Valet bicycle parking will be available for 400 bikes.
A new University Super Express route will offer extra buses from downtown.
