    I'm planning on going to the Bulls game tomorrow. I'm from out of town so I thought about going to Oshawa and taking the Go Train to Union Station and back when it's over, since the Grey Cup should make everything crazy downtown.</p>

    Does the Go Train run on Sunday? Their website is a mess. Thanks in advance.</p>

    Otherwise I need advice on where to park.</p>

    Cheers.</p>

    I'm not sure about that specific route, but trains don't run from Brampton on weekends. You could still catch a GObus to Union, though.</p>

    I'm not sure speeds. I'd opt to the park the car at kilpling or yorkdale station and taking the subway from there. You'd need to give yourself and extra hour of time though. Or I'd check out Ontario place, which I'm pretty sure you can get to from the lakeshore and the gardiner. They have lots of parking and since the season is over it could be empty lots. Better yet, the Ex grounds, where a quick walk to Queen st and you could hope on the street car.</p>

    Failing all of those, I'd pick a street and cruise it from about Bathurst eastward, look for the green P. I never drive so I rarely think about parking lots. Like I said I'd go yorkdale and park. It's close to the major routes, yet far enough out of the city that you won't hit game traffic.</p>

    Have a good time at the game, you going stick around and enjoy the grey cup?</p>

    I'm not a huge CFL fan, but I liked the way Winnipeg shut down the cocky Argos (thought it was pretty funny when one of their players held up 10 fingers to the TV screen). Plus, I like Stegall. Bombers ftw. 1</p>

    Thanks guys. We arrived around 10:30 so it was easy to find parking nearby.</p>

    Good game to go see! Jamario Moon is awesome.</p>
