I'm gonna need a gameplan.....

[trojandad]

forgive me for making a separate thread on this, i didn't know where else to put it to get the most input......here's my problem....

just in case some magic happened and we were to be able to play next week in arlington, i have dialysis here in colege station until almost 11 am...my sweetheart can have us off by 11....that gives me 5 hours to get in our seats, so praying the dr releases me, here's what i gotta determine....

first, opinions on whether its quicker to go up hwy 6 to waco and up 35, or over sh 35 to madisonville and hit 45....i know the first way is shorter to arlington but i've done each way once the i45 route was quicker due to the fewer small towns with stop lights....

second, i lived in arlington during school, but it was over 25 years ago, so it has to have changed (and i've never been to jerry's world).....so (a) what is the best way to approach it coming from i20 and (b) i'm hearing nightmares on this $50 parking...if i have to pay it i will but i'm clueless on any park and rides or parking a distance from jj.......

any help will be appreciated, and my word to the wimberley fans this is not arrogance, i just figured next week would be cutting it close to ask.......:D

Parking will be between 7 and 10 bucks. They dont charge 50+ for high school games.

When we played there before I went to I-30 and took Collins straight to the stadium about 1 pm and did not have any problems at all with traffic. The parking pass was $10. Just don't forget the concession MONEY!

I45 for sure imo...MAP (http://maps.google.com/maps?q=coldspring%2C%20tx%20to%20arlington%2C%20tx&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&rlz=1R1GGGL_en___US361&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wl)

Yes...I-45 to I-20, then over to 360 north to Arlington. You'll see the stadium on your left...near Six Flags.

I wish you the best of luck Trojandad. Good Luck against Wimberley and hope to see you next week! :D

Should be right up your alley being from Brownwood. :D :p Watch him though because he will lick your ear everytime you get close. I've seen Terry slap him after 3 times of doing that.
