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???
Just makes sense...
yes they'll have extra trains running and they'll make a big deal of it to make sure everyone knows it. So everyone will crowd all the train stations and all those people who decide to drive will have no traffic problems.
(That's what happened last year at the championship parade)
i'm from Boston but i might go get some yankees gear just to fuck with the Philly peeps............*shudder*..never mind......i just thought about what i said and slapped myself............GO PHILLIES!!

correct, there will most likely be extra Broad St line (Orange line) trains running all day due to the multiple events. The biggest problem will be getting out of the area when the concert is over. If the game ends around the same time it will be a mass of people trying to use the subway station.

I must admit... you are 100% correct.

Sounds like a cool walk. I bet it takes less than an hour. Might be your best bet.
EDIT: Disclaimer, I don't know the area and if it's safe, but taking the public transport after the show looks like a nightmare, and driving won't be a picnic either. Perhaps take the subway in and walk home?

Do NOT count on Philly being smart enough to have extra trains running. I don't think they'll need the extra trains anyway. The only time I've seen the trains overwhelmed was the Phillies parade last year...but that was 2 million people.
My advice to everyone - just give yourselves plenty of time and have a plan. Don't try to jump in the car at the last minute and expect to get there without any problems. I live about 45 mins outside the city and I'm planning on taking the train to center city and then jumping on the subway. Either that, or leaving super early in the car and parking at my buddy's house in South Philly.
"Darkness comes in waves, tell me, why invite it to stay?"
can you imagine the traffic AFTER the Pj show and game?? they will probabaly let out at the same time...we should be thankfull there is no way the phillies can clinch a championship that night (it's only game 3)
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.

Attendance at the World Series game, Pearl Jam and Flyers will equal one Eagles game. It will be fun down there, but not as crazy as you make it sound.
chicken little needs to calm down a bit. I was down there for game 4/eagles game/the who concert last year. we had zero problems and did not need to show up anywhere close to 8 hours beforehand and we drove. it was a sunday so that may be a bit different but not much of a major change.

"chicken little...." That's actually made me laugh out loud (but then again... wasn't he right at the end).
Anyway... hey man... show up when ever you want... doesn't bother me. In fact, I'm not even going to that show (28th & 30th) but that's what I would do.
Man... and i didn't even take into consideration if it's beautiful out that day.
Good luck guys...
By the way... did anyone else notice that the sky was a little lower today

Dude, you forgetting all the spots that will open up after the Flyers game is over????? THOUSANDS....Getting there before the Flyers game is over may not yield any better parking, because all of those spots will be opening up after the game is over...Early as in 3:30-5, YES. That is the time you wanna shoot for. There is ample parking down there between the 4 Arenas/ Stadiums, and tailgating is not permitted in some of them. If you get there too early, many lots are not yet open, and you may find yourself in a lot that does not permit tailgating...The Broad St. line goes directly to the Spectrum. That could be a nightmare getting out of there at the end of the night though...It also will be pretty fun if the Phils win that game...
GET THERE BETWEEN 3:30 and 5. The Wachovia Center shares parking with the Spectrum, and after the Flyers game lets out, the closest lots to the Spectrum will be opening up.

This is the best sound information i have seen in a long time. when Ralphy speaks, people should listen

at those times you will have flyers fans leaving, and PJ/Phillies fans arriving
clusterfuck me thinks
yes spots will be opening up, but the roads leading up to the complex will be jammed
WIP610 (local sports station in Philly) just brought up this very same topic. Anthony Gargano (sport talk guy for the station), is going to ask Raul Ibanez, to ask Eddie Vedder, to move the concert to the afternoon. Apparently Raaauuuuuullllllll and Eddie are tight.
Obviously they are joking but they said the same exactly thing I stated. But hey... what do I know.
Could you imagine an afternoon Pearl Jam concert leading up to the Phillies-Yankees World Series game? Talk about a dream day!
But hey... everyone show up between 3:30 and 5:00... there will be plenty of parking

Game 3 will start at 8:07. You should be fine taking the train... getting home will take some time.
Good luck...
