Casino = free parking. You have to pay something like $50 when you enter but they give you a cash voucher. So park, go to game, go cash your voucher afterwards and get your money back.

| FREE parking near Rogers Arena or downtown on game days.
Here are some good places to find FREE parking within walking distance from Rogers Arena or on downtown streets farther down from the arena. My friends tell me about these free spots that some people may not know about : 
1) Loading zone spots on Abbott Street, near Dunsmuir.
Those spots have signs that indicate "Loading Zone." However, the loading
zone spots are only effective until 6pm. You get to park those spots after
6. A great way to get free parking.
2) Loading zone parking spots on West Georgia, between Hornby and
Burrard.
Again, these loading zone spots are free parking because according to
signs these spots are loading zones only until 6pm.
My friend and I parked these spots on Canuck game days without any problems. The spots are a bit of a walk to Rogers Arena.

I would just park near a skytrain station and just Skytrain to Stadium Station.
I see lots of people park around Main St. or Broadway Station and take the train in.

If you dont mind walking 2 blocks.
Park in that Lot on pender street in chinatown (where floata restaurant is)
on event nights, its only a couple of dollars, totally worth it, just exiting might take awhile.

My friend owns a hair salon on Cambie and has a parking spot for customers in a parkade on Beatty. I just use that and let her know I'm there.

Take me maybe an 60-70 minutes from Langley there and 35 minutes home as opposed to 25 minute drive to skytrain and 60 minute train ride each way. If you have 3 or more people it's the same or cheaper to drive even factoring in gas and parking. You have to pay for parking at the train, then $5 per person there cause it's 3 zones and $2.50 per person back.
If you lived near the skytrain I think it would be a no brainer though.

People have been abusing their "free" parking for years now.

There's security guards patrolling the lot and you WILL get a ticket or WILL get towed.
They are EXTREMELY strict on event days or when there are games. I know this because I know people who work at Tinseltown Cinema. The stub shit don't work no more unfortunately
