Ok, I'm staying at the Cambria Suites-can I REALLY walk to VWMC from there or no? I know distance wise I could, but would I be like a drifter on the highway? like are there sidewalks? I have VIP parking so that might be still the best option, no?


Or should I take one those famous Horse and Buggie rides Noblesville, IN is known for?

Yes, they do have sidewalks over there now for most of the way. Definitely walkable distance.

@shadowcast: That is not that far away, but like Ample Jar said, avoid I-69! Tell the cabbie to take back roads. If you need help with directions/map, just let me know.

It just hit me when I woke up this morning that this is only 4 days away!!

You guys are the best!! Thanks!!

I know there are cabs out that way just bustin some balls. But how cool would that be to arrive to the show on horseback? I am staying at the Hilton Garden Inn at 9785 North by Northeast Blvd. what am I about 10-15 minutes away from the venue? Thanks for the info!!!

My family and I are local farmers...I could let you borrow a tractor for the night if you like!

I'm working on some "local" directions 4 10C peeps. Or feel free to PM me on here...
Cheers, to a great Friday nite!

C'mon Chicago man....it may not be Chi-town but far from horse and buggy.
Verizon...or Deer Creek to us locals, is off of Exit 10 (a bit ironic for us 10C'ers), so only 10 minutes north of 465. Our airport slows down after 11 pm, so the cabbies will be glad for the N-east business.

Keystone is on the very North side of Indy- i.e., think about 1 o'clock on a watch, and Deer Creek is like 2-fifteen'ish.
The problem for those headed to the show from the Sheraton is that 465 East bound on the north side is a major construction F-up! And 4-6 pm is "rush hour" for north-siders commute.
So my advice is: 1.) leave before 4 pm for the show 2.) my very best advice is to get a local map or a local to give you directions using local streets to Noblesville, then THIS is KEY: take St Rd 38 from Noblesville into the North or top-side entrance to Deer Creek.
Coming into Deer Creek off of I-69 is for tourists/out of towners...it is a major traffic jam for most shows (trust me, i used to live off of exit 10). Do yourself a favor and mapquest a route from Noblesville using St Rd 38...then park in VIP parking...it's worth the ca$h...you'll be outta there much quicker.

Thanks for the inside info. When I google map it, it takes me up SR-38 to Greenfield. Good way to go? Also, what road is the VIP parking entrance on?

The VIP parking is on the south side of the venue, entrance is on 146th St. I thought I found a map of this online a couple months ago, but I can't find it anymore. If you look on Google maps and switch to the Satellite view, you can see the VIP parking lot.

As for directions, where are you starting out from?

We'll probably coming from the pre-party at Mo's. We are staying at the Sheraton. I come down there a lot for work and am familiar with the 465 mess. Probably will take the backroads in.

The quick and dirty.....bring I-65 down to Lebanon, and take SR32 over through Noblesville to Boden Road. Turn right and this brings you into the North side of the venue. Check it out on a map and it will make sense. But there's no need to actually go to Indianapolis. This is the way I'll be going (I live in Lebanon though)

Even though I was working for my Step Dad then! He was a total dick about giving me the ONE DAY off the entire summer that I worked for him and I had to eat the 10C tickets that I bought.

Boden Rd off of St Rd 38 is the ticket folks. Drove by there today. $25 for VIP parking off of that North-Side entrance is the way to go...it is well worth it...U will get back 2 your hotel quicker or to Moe's!
Cheers,
ryan

So any of you NOT going to Columbus and planning on being there tomorrow night?

I'll be camping at Sleepy Bear. Look for a dark blueish green VW station wagon. We'll be there with a campfire and some beer. Stop on over!

Columbus or bust...

have fun camping...or think about packing up that vw and head to columbus for the night

hope you can make it to columbus patrick

So I'm getting the following directions from Yahoo Maps to go from Sleepy Bear to the airport:

- Bergen Rd. to Greenfield Ave (IN 128)
- I-69 S. to I-465 S.
- I-465 S to I-65 W
- I-65 W to I-70 W
- exit to airport.

Does this sound like a good route?

Any better advice from the locals?

patrickredeyes

Nope Columbus is out for me only Indy is all I'm doing. See yea 2morrow.
