Ottawa Renegades News Release
OTTAWA - The Ottawa Renegades Football Club will be providing complimentary transportation to fans planning on attending Friday evening's home opener (against the Montreal Alouettes 6 p.m.). Free shuttles will take fans from the heart of downtown Ottawa's Canada Day celebrations to Frank Clair Stadium as another courtesy for the supporters of the team making the trip to Lansdowne Park.
A pair of double-decker red buses will be transporting supporters back and forth from "Festival Plaza" (corner of Laurier Street and Elgin Street, adjacent to Ottawa City Hall) beginning at 3 p.m. The free shuttles will continue all afternoon until 5:45 p.m. - when the last bus will depart from the Parliament Hill region to the stadium in time for 6 p.m. kickoff.
"This is a way for us to ensure our fans enjoy themselves all day, and get the full Canada Day experience - to be around Parliament and the Market and the events in the heart of downtown, but also make sure that there is a service to get everyone to the park who would like to use the free buses," said Lonie Glieberman, president of the Renegades. "Anyone who wants to go to the game from downtown can jump on the shuttle and we want to allow people many opportunities to get to the stadium as possible."
The safe mode of transportation for fans is a Renegades initiative that is also designed to make traffic safe to and from the stadium on July 1.
The Renegades open the home portion of the 2005 regular season on Canada Day when Ottawa hosts the Montreal Alouettes. Tickets are available either at the Renegades ticket office (1015 Bank Street), on the Internet (http://www.capitaltickets.ca), by phone (613.599.3267 or 877.788.3267), any Sports Experts location in the Ottawa and Gatineau regions as well as the Corel Centre Box Office in Kanata.
