Every year my brother comes to a few comes, and he's coming from the east and asks me to pick him up at Stop & Shop in East Hartford which seems sort of annoyingly out of the way (also set back from the road), anybody have any recommendations about a better spot to carpool and head into the stadium together?
It's not from the east, but
A huge glass building @ 333 East River Drive in EH is probably an OK spot.
Used to be a bunch of businesses, but now American Eagle Federal Credit Union bought the entire building. I don't think they'll ever use the entire lot.
Huge parking lot right off route 2 and 91 on ramp. Park farthest away from building. Park closest to stadium.
East River Drive turns into silver lane once you go past main st.
If you're coming from 333 e River.
To get to stadium:
Go under route 2
Go past I-91 on-ramp
Go past main st (town fair tire will be in NW corner)
Taco Bell, tire city, queen pizza will be on you're left.
Stadium entrance on the right.
Reverse to get to 333 from stadium.
