Pro Tip: Canadian Cup Finals = Border Crossing Traffic
If the Stanley Cup Final features a Canadian team, expect compounded border-crossing traffic at the Ambassador Bridge (Detroit-Windsor), Peace Bridge (Buffalo-Fort Erie), Rainbow Bridge (Niagara Falls), and Peace Arch (Seattle-Vancouver). US fans drive to Canadian games and Canadian fans drive to US games. Use TrafficVision cameras to verify border wait times before committing.
