    So....what would be a good thing to do on Saturday? We're staying near the arena.

    Just hit the zoo or a museum?
    I need to figure that out as well. 
    I was thinking about driving to the Rock & Roll HOF museum....it's a two hour drive though.

    Can anyone very familiar with parking nearby the arena speak to a couple places to park or definitely NOT park at based on easy access out?  I’ve got a long drive after each show and would like to plan out where to park in advance, not just turn up and hope for the best driving around the arena.  
    I’m happy to walk 10-15 minutes from the venue to a lot/ garage if it provides faster getaway access to the highway to get home.  
    Thanks in advance to whomever can help.

    I personally don’t think it’s worth it… 
    just a lot of clothes from what I remember, more than actually instruments or artifacts. Maybe it’s been revamped a bit since I’ve been. 
    We were thinking about hitting it up again on the way there but we go through Cleveland to get there. I wouldn’t go out of my way for it

    I went about a month ago while I was in Cleveland. The actual "hall of fame" level isn't much -- just a wall of plaques with each year's inductees. The "museum" level is decent. There are some city specific cases, including one for Seattle with some cool artifacts for PJ and others. I thought there were a fair amount of guitars and such. Original lyric sheets, although many are photocopies. Agree it's worth checking out if you happen to be in Cleveland but not sure if it's worth a four hour drive

    I am staying at the Cambria Hotel. It is pretty much right next door to the arena. Anyone else staying there?
    I'm there too.

    I like when I travel to be close enough to the Venue that I can walk to.

    Well, the good news is, Ticketmaster just magically "found" thousands of seats to several shows overnight, so I would expect that to happen for Pittsburgh as well at some point.  Probably not in the same volume, but make no mistake, they are holding back a lot of seats.  I now have much more hope of scoring tickets now that I know the demand just isn't there.  Tickets for Raleigh are now listed (and not selling) UNDER face value and that's on Stubhub, which should tell you just how much demand there really is. If PJ and TM stop playing games with the tickets and the idiotic "Premium" scam, things will settle down and simple supply and demand will take care of things.

    Good news!
    I'm hoping to find 2 seats on the floor if anyone is looking to try F2F. Message me!

    Excited for wishlist too, always a good time to hang out.
    Wouldn't it be funny if the world ended in 2010, with lots of fire?
