getting to jadwin

What a #@king joke it was. To get from nassau street to jadwin!! I left triumph brewery at 520pm to go the game. I got to my seat at halftime. Halftime!! No public safety to direct traffic or give directions for the overfilled lots. Just complete chaos. I called public safety and asked if they had ever dealt with a sporting event before, they then hung up on me. Screw the tigers.

Were you walking, or driving?

But I have to agree, we ourselves asked two different parties directions to Jadwin before the game, and one guy had no clue and the other party pointed us in completely the wrong direction. Then the guy at the information booth didn't even bother to come out from the booth or draw a map like the nice, friendly people at dear old CU do when people drive up and have no idea where they're going.

We came up Washington street to the lineup of cars going North on Faculty. We decided to go South instead, park near the hockey rink, and hoof it to the rink. It was a decent walk (~20 mins), but it seemed a better option than waiting in the mass of cars that wasn't moving.

I didn't have too much problem. Was probably there about 40 minutes early, and my tiny car was able to fit in one of those snow-y spots that longer cars wouldn't have been able to fit into without sticking out too far. Got out pretty quickly too because I was at the back of the lot closest to the road. I can see how it would have been an awful experience for others though.

If you thought parking was a mess in Princeton on Saturday, wait until you see what it's going to be like at Sucks this Friday. Both the basketball and hockey games are sold out, and the parking is a mess around Sucks' rink when there's just a hockey game going on. I can't imagine how bad it's going to be with both sold-out games. I'm hoping to get there by 6:15, which should give me a shot at getting into the rink by gametime.
