Bell Centre

Conditional. Backpacks, coolers, sports bags, and hard-covered briefcases are banned entirely regardless of size; other bags generally must not exceed 15 x 10 x 4 cm so they fit under a seat. Max size: 15 cm x 10 cm x 4 cm (general rule; varies by event). Exceptions: Backpacks, coolers, sports bags, and hard-covered briefcases are prohibited outright, no matter the size.

Conditional. The arena's own site wasn't fetched directly for this entry — secondary sources describe the Bell Centre's own underground garage as dynamically priced for Canadiens games, with reported rates ranging roughly CA$20-45 depending on demand (individual sources cite figures anywhere from CA$28 to CA$38). Sourced to secondary parking-guide aggregators, not a first-party fetch — re-verify against the official site (centrebell.ca or the Canadiens' own site) when convenient. Advance booking through BestParking is cited as an option. Fee: CA$20-45, dynamically priced (per secondary sources, unconfirmed officially).

Not Allowed. Outside drinks, including water, may not be brought into the Bell Centre.
