I'm going to the game tonight, haven't seen one live in years.  Any tips on where to park close to the ACC, with a greater priority on convenience than price?

I live across the street from the ACC.  From a convenience perpective, it depends on what your priorities are (as you've stated price isn't the top one):

- walking distance
- speed of leaving after the game

To answer your question... which direction do you head afterwards?

I'm driving in from Gerrard and Pape and have to return my friend to his car there afterwards, if that helps.

Indeed it does- heading eastbound means a lot that is east of the arena is best. 

The place I'd suggest you park is in the surface lot behind the Toronto Star Building.  Its a bit more of a walk, but getting out of there is relatively painless compared to parking in my building complex (16 Harbour St.).  Any of the parking lots closer (ie 60 Harbour, Maple Leafs Square underground, or Green P at Bay/Lakeshore) are a pain to get out of after.

Thanks for the tips!  In the end, we ended up in a rush and taking what we could get in an underground lot and literally arrived in our seats right at puck drop.  Elected to go for wings afterwards because of the massive congestion getting out of the lot afterwards.  But a good night overall.  Thanks again.

The real secret is to leave any game 5 minutes before the end (unless it is a playoff game or a really important one), most people stay for the end of the game, if you do this then you are on the freeway in minutes and ahead of the crowd.

People who leave before the end of a sporting event really piss me off.

Nylander scored with 4 minutes left in the AZ game and they won 4-1.  I could have sit around for 4 minutes and sat in traffic for 2 hours and then had a hour drive home or scooted onto the highway and got home in the hour. Saved 2 hours of complete frustation. Sorry to offend Arn
