    ok, that's playing it REALLY safe. I wish I ha dthat luxury. Probably won't be able to leave from Wantagh until 4 at the earliest. Mapquest says it's should take 2:30, but that doesn't take rush hour travel into consideration

    if you leave at 4 or later and make it in 2 1/2 hours you will be doing real well. That Belt is a nightmare.

    that is cutting it close
  • You guys are all leaving a lot later than me and everyone I know going. I'm probably leaving around 11, try to get there by 2:30. We plan on tailgaiting hard, is nobody else planning the same?

    Crappy weather today, the Belt and Staten Island Expressway are going to be a mess, not to mention you are dealing with the rush hour traffic going South on the Turnpike.

    Get out of work early and head down there earlier :)!

    If your going to the show tomorrow do you have room on the way back Wed.? If you do I have a comcast ticket for you on Friday. I only need a ride back wed, I would fly straight into Philly( I pack lite, one small rollerboard) tomorrow & find a ticket. Heading to Philly friday for the last 2 shows with 2 other friends from NY, so 1 ticket is still available. We have 2 pair sec 326 & 301. I need to know by tonight to fly standby early tomorrow morning. I'll send you a pm. Thanks

  • taking the train is the best option at least going, but coming back it's recommended you either have a ride secured or are staying over. The last R7 to Trenton leaves at 11:50 and the last Amtrak before the crack of dawn is a little after midnight. If you're taking NJ Transit to Septa, the trains leave 37 after the hour and though your for SEPTA says 30th Street, take it to Suburban because that directly connects with the Broad Street Subway.
