OT- Handicapped parking...

[RioDog]

I have the el-cheapo season tickets and therefore no parking pass. I usually park at the abandoned Pet Smart shopping center and walk to the stadium (I certainly need the exercise). But my wife is working this weekend so I'll be bringing a friend who can't walk long distance and uses a handicapped parking pass. Is there any accomodation for this situation or even a way I could simply drop him off close to the stadium? Thanks in advance for any info.

Hang the handicap up just before you enter the driveway to the field, try to stay inthe left lane or as close to it as possible. The staff will direct you to the handicap area, you can park in any handicap space you want, they are all close to the stadium. Hope this helps. Also costs $15.00

Thats awsome thanks very much. My friend's feet will thank you as well.

Yes I park in the handicap spaces every game. Park behind the video board end zone and you can watch the band warmup.
They do fill up so do not get there too late.

Thanks for the info. Is there any problem getting over there if I enter from Silver Lane?

Riodog, I have a blue parking pass I will not be using for this game. If you want it I would be more than happy to give it to you. I live in Manchester and could meet you Thursday or Friday evening or could arrange Saturday morning on the way to the game.

hah, we park behind the video board also. My grandson was in the marching band too. He will be at the Cuse game but I doubt he will visit us.

He doesn't need a parking pass except to save the $15.00, so hang the handicap and show the parking pass when attendant stop you to pay.

No ,that is the one you need to use take a right at the light at the first entrance to field. It's opposite the Rt 84 exit. Hope this doesn't confuse you. All the cones will drive you nuts if you never driven it before. Weave between the cones to get over to the left if you can.


Ps I hope you come in the direction as we do, past the Taco place on the left and a bunch of gas stations on the right, on Silver Lane.

Wow thats very generous and I will definitely take you up on that. I also live in Manchester (East Side) off of Autumn St. so PM me and we can meet at your convenience.

Actually I usually come from the east (Manchester) direction past the Burlington Coat Factory and that half-abandoned Pet Smart plaza. Is it advantageous to come from the west?

Rio, I am quite useless when it comes to navigating and simply cannot figure out how to initiate a PM . Perhaps you can send me one and I can reply or we can simply post here. It's not anything I'm worried about people seeing.

Sure no worries. I'm between contracts (no, not a hit-man) so I'm free to meet anytime/anywhere.

Sounds like the opposite direction. No no advantage. In that case do not enter the first driveway to the field, go down to the next one, opposite the Rt 84 exit,at the light turn left. The rest of the post is the same once you enter the driveway. Good luck. Hope I haven't confused you.

Of course that's exactly the kind of thing a hit man would say, not that I'm trying to annoy you or anything...just a joke... heh, heh, heh.... um let's forget I said anything.

(we cool?)

Grady's at 6:00pm works fine. I'll be the large fellow in UConn shirt. Old blue Ford Escort. See you there!
