    Ok so if I stay at Loews in City center, flight gets in around 430, I should have enough time to check into the hotel and make it to the stadium in time. At least I think. Never been to Philly so I am not familiar with traffic ect

    As long as your flights not delayed, you should be cool. Even with traffic, I can't imagine a cab/uber from the airport to the Lowes will take much more than 30 minutes. From there you can hop on the subway to get to the stadium.

    Yeah, and if for some reason 95 was closed down then take regional rail to Suburban and you'll be good.

    Loews is sweet - we're using that place for our wedding block for guests. And ya got the bar (among many, many others) Fergie's right around the corner.

    was close to 8:15 last tour i believe. If i remember correctly took the stage around 8:15 and played until around 11:15 to 11:30 both nights. with no opening act i think they take the stage a bit earlier. someone can correct me if i am wrong though.

    Guy earlier helped me out. He said to stay in City Center. Close to the subway and is about a ten minute ride on it to the stadium

    Hilarious!
    Some pulling hair out over not getting tickets to a concert 3months away when general public tickets aren't on sale yet while others are asking for stage times for a concert 3months away when the general public tickets aren't on sale yet!

    If I don't get Friday tickets I could go to a Phillies game. That would be fun.

    There's the Rodeway Inn right in the middle of the city that's not the greatest but isn't super expensive. At least I don't think it is.

    Just 'cause I'm curious it looks like the Loews' rates for then aren't terrible.

    And there's something called the Bella Vista B&B which looks decent; good area, too.

    I worked in the hotel business for over 16 years in Philly. At the end of April, the city is starting to ramp up for peak season. If the shows were a week or 2 later, rooms would be hundreds of dollars more per night.
