June 22nd, 2011 M&T Bank Stadium, Baltimore, MD

Only lists the chance of thunderstorms as 6PM and then 10PM onward. That's much more doable....

agreed. I don't think it'll be too bad. maybe I'm just being way too optimistic since i'm coming from Connecticut though.

Because this stadium is downtown, rather than in the outskirts in the middle of ghetto PG County

There will be ample cash parking in the industrial area across the street from the box office (between MM/NN and K/L on the map)

Lot M/N/O should be cash

G/H will probably be cash but not open until 5hrs before.

There are other cash lots (and free street parking) to the right of G/H


Parking further downtown will be difficult and expensive before 5pm due to the normal commuters taking up space

So which cash lot would you recommend, K, L, M, O, or G/H? Did you say G/H is where a lot of the tailgating occurs? Also, from google earth it looks like there are buildings where lots K and L are on the map you posted.

I'm more interested in the free street parking to the right of G/H. Do they have free parking there?

Well, used one of the google earth features and went down to the street level on West street just before it runs into G/H. No meters but there is a sign that says NO PARKING Truck Loading Zone - 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM. So I guess after 5:00 PM its ok and free along that part of West street.

Its a mixed industrial/residential/abandoned area. The street parking rules vary from block to block, but there are free spots if you hunt around

Ugh, now even Accuweather is calling for storms in the daytime, with severe weather in the evening. Ack, ack, ack.

If the weather looks bad in the afternoon, make sure you leave early for the stadium, people. Traffic could be bad.

 

[bonoz]

I'm leaving now for the stadium. Hopefully I can find the parking.

I'll probably get there by 10 or 10:30 and be like... the 300th person in line.

 

[Mrs. Edge]

We should be there by noon.

 

[vjacqb]

does anyone know if there's a Baltimore Ravens team store in the stadium, and if so, what their hours are?

 

[Pop Artist]

Just checked weather.com...seems like the worst weather will be from 3-7-ish and then may actually be OK for showtime...

Am on bus from NYC now! Wifi and power outlets, gotta love it. ETA on bus 12:30...may not queue at all and just hang with pals.

 

[Nate Dogg]

I'll be there. Section 109. It's gonna be awesome.

 

[senrab]

I bought my friend and I some sexy ponchos at Target. We are ready. lol

98 Rocks

98 Rock is reporting (probably incorrectly) that pit access will not be 1st come 1st served like normal and will be random when your bar code is scanned.

I cant confirm that this is really the case, but the local rock station is definitely reporting it as so

 

[vjacqb]

^OMG, don't they know that potentially false rumor is going to create

They are broadcasting from SLIDERS, which is only a 10 minute walk from the GA line if anyone wants to set the record straight.

Im not there until 2 myself

 

[KristenCaNaDiAn]

Radio people

 

[beershack]

Directions to 98 Rock broadcasting from Sliders if anyone wants to inform the DJ

 

[vjacqb]

I'm not at the stadium either, I've texted my friends who are there. Waiting to hear from them.

 

[vjacqb]

LOL, just heard back from U2Fanatic4ever, the radio station apparently got their info from Vertigo tour SIX YEARS AGO!! All the fans over at the stadium corrected them

So same thing just like the other shows in this tour: pit access is first come first serve.

[BonoFly]

In line now. 249.

Pretty much just hopped in line with the guy and his buddy we met and marked ourselves. It seems like most people after 200 are doing that.

I went over an corrected them. It was corrected over the radio.

sounds like something U2.com would do.

 

[kkaider]

Is anyone there that parked without having a pre-bought parking pass? Any words of wisdom?

I stand corrected. She is appearing before congress via video conference. Thought is sounded weird that she would be here.
