There's a parkade north of it, or you can park in the open air parkade between Gate 1 & Gate 2 [at C/D 5]. Did you come to the PBI? The Peter Bakonyi International? The SUB is the bunkerlike building between the two gyms we used on the left if you were going form the War Memorial Gym to the other gym. If you come from the ferry, or the border after Oak St Bridge, Option A: take either the WEST-BOUND EXIT Marine Drive or Option B: follow Oak St all the way to 41st, then turn left to 41st 41st becomes marine Drive. Marine Drive to 16th Ave (at the bottom of the UBC map) that's the first and only exit on the right clost to the end of the freeway section of Marine Drive. On 16th at the 2nd traffic light, turn left, to Wesbrook; past 2 traffic lights - don't run the red lights, ok? Immediately after GATE 1 - look for the totem-like signs - that's the 2nd traffic light turn left into the first parking lot. This lot is the one at C/D 5 on the map. I think the rate is $3.50 for the whole day. If that lot is full, got to Gate 2 which is immediate,y north of Gate 1, turn left at the exit of the lot you're in, pass the tall highrises of Gage Towers. The NORTH PARKADE is immediately west of Gage. It's at C/D 4/5 on the map. Sorry, I don't know the all-day rate there. The SUB is the bunkerlike building NORTHWEST of the parking lot, and south of the NORTH PARKADE.. It's easier if you use the NORTH ENTRANCE at SUB once you got in the 1st set of the NORTH doors, turn left, up two flights of stairs, then left again when you're on the 2nd floor. The SUB Ballroom should be right there. It's fairly easy to find.
