Traffic update as promised in the other thread. Glendale Avenue (The street the arena is on) and Northern Avenue (the next major street North) are all messed up at the Grand Avenue intersections. So if you're coming from someplace East of 59th Avenue on either of those streets, I'd suggest using Dunlap/Olive Avenue on the North, or Camelback Road on the South. Bethany Home Road is actually the next street South of Glendale Avenue, but it does not go all the way through to 91st Avenue (the North-South street the arena is on).
For those of you in the GA line: The nearest facilities for food and bathrooms (assuming there will be no available portable toilets, or other on-site facilities abailable) are going to be about a mile away. A mile to the North (91st Avenue and Northern) you've got a Target and Kohl's, as well as 3 gas station/convenience stores for bathrooms. There's a Carl's Junior, Applebee's, Coldstone Creamery, Quizzno's Subs, Panda Express, and a pizza place. A mile to the East (83rd Avenue and Glendale Avenue) you've got a Walgreens, McDonalds, Mexican Food place, a Subway, and a Circle K. There's also a cocktail lounge, but it pretty much looks like a dive in every sense of the word. About a mile West of the arena you also have an AM/PM convenience store.
