People... if you're going to the 10/31 show be sure to get there early. Heed my warning: If you don't get there by 1pm, YOU'LL NEVER FIND A PARKING PLACE WITH IN 2 MILES, and you'll be cursing yourself for not taking my advice.

Believe me... it's going to be a mess down there.

1) It's game 3 of the Phillies/Yankees world series
2) Pearl Jam is closing out the Specturm
3) The Flyers are playing at Waovia center (home game)
4) It's Halloween
5) It's a Saturday....

In all honesty, public transportation is your best beat.

    subway!! ride fresh!!

    Seriously. If you can't get there by 1pm. Don't waste your time. I can't wait to see all the post after the show of how it was a mess down there and they had to park miles away from the lot.

    Because of a commitment earlier that day, I won't be able to arrive until real late, maybe not even until about 8pm. Thinking of buying a reserved parking pass for the Spectrum, but wondering if traffic would be so bad that I couldn't get to the reserved lot in time.

    Don't be scared by this guy. I went to a Phillies World Series game last year and the parking lot was ridiculous, yes, but it was the Citizen's Bank lot. There's no way that the lot for the Spectrum, Wachovia Center, Citizen's Bank, Linc AND all the overflow lots will be crammed full of people by 1pm. Come on now. Stop being a douchebag. I would try and get there early, but it's not like you have to show up 7 hours early to secure a parking space.

    Dude seriously... you have NO CLUE.

    I am talking numbers. The # of people attending the Phillies game + PJ is ~ to the # attending an Eagles game. You can disagree but dont insult me with telling me I dont have a clue.

    I have season tickets to the Eagles (section 274) and I was lucky enough to go to game 3 and 5 of last year's WS. So I know what I'm talking about.

    Last years game 3 atmosphere was crazy. As many people there were who had actual tickets, there were about 3x's that in the parking lot just wanting to be part of the scene. Parking was a mess and that game was on a weekday and that wasn't with one of the greatest bands in the world playing across the street.

    10/31 is a Saturday... it's Halloween... the Phillies are playing the Yankees in game 3 of the WS, Pearl Jam, the greatest band in the world is playing the last show at the Spectrum.....it's gong to be a party down there.... and everyone is gong to want to be part of it.

    Like I said.... It's going to be crazy.

    The same thing everyone else will be doing: Party.

    hey.... do you want... only trying to help people out. Only time will tell. But again, considering that:
    1) It's game 3 of the Phillies/Yankees world serisou
    2) Pearl Jam is closing out the Specturm
    3) The Flyers are playing a home game
    4) It's Halloween
    5) It's a Saturday....

    Well.... do what you want.... either way.... good luck.

    it will be crazy with the flyers fans leaving while the phillies and PJ fans are trying to get in at the same time
    make no mistake, the traffic will be horrendous getting into the complex
    do you need to get there at 1? Probably not

    but I would not wait until the last minute
  • DPrival78DPrival78 Posts: 2,263
    sounds like the train is the way to go on saturday, huh? maybe i'll just look to get my tailgating in friday..
    i'm more a fan of popular bands.. like the bee-gees, pearl jam
  • URthekeyURthekey Posts: 1,763
    I'm happy I'm going to already be in town from previous shows.
    I think the clusterfuck will be trying to get over the bridge.
    I'm going to hop on the train, in costume, and just cruise into the Spectrum.
  • Baseball game starts at 7???
    Pearl Jam hits the stage at 8:45???

    Im thinking if I hop on a train at 6:00.....I would still not have any problems.....right???

    The baseball traffic will already be at the game....right???

    Now leaving the show??? That might be a whole different ballgame....

    Yes you'll be fine...

    All the Flyers fans will have left the area by 4 or 5PM, so that eliminated most of them. Then there will be the usual tailgaters for the concert and Phils game. Yes a big crowd, yes traffic, but shouldn't be any crazier than most Sundays down at the sports complexes.

    I am also thinking The good city of Philly will be smart enough to have extra trains running.....Right???
