    I think the consensus is that the Holiday Inn near the venue is not a very good place to stay except that it is within walking distance and the only thing around there and Eric (Evil Closet Monkey) is working on a group rate.

    Near the airport are Hiltons and Mariotts, Sheratons, etc. so I assume they are OK. Never stayed there.

    The airport area is like a ten minute drive max from the venue. Airport is like exit 13 on 95 and the venue is like exit 18. And once you get off of 95, you are literally right next to the parking lot to the venue.

    i think that is were i am going to stay, the ones close to the venue seem to be overpriced at best
    the airport is only 3-5 miles, im cabbing it

    Haven't decided where to stay yet. Depends on if there is a Halloween show or not.

    Not making the rookie mistake of booking everything now only to have the show not happen or be on a different day. Been there and done that.

    Yeah, just walk a couple blocks to the Broad Street line of the Subway to take you to Center City and City Hall. From there you could either walk ten blocks to "Olde City" or transfer to the Market Street line to get to Independence Hall, Constitution Center, Liberty Bell, etc.

    are there any places around the spectrum to grab a drink before the show? or is the immediate area just venues and parking lots?

    is there a hotel bar at the holiday inn?

    maybe all of us who are staying downtown and taking the train down can stop off there pregame.
    i'm more a fan of popular bands.. like the bee-gees, pearl jam
