I’ll be at tonight games with my son, so excited. Where is the best place to park?

Where do you live? I always like to park in a place that I can get out of Hartford and on the highway the easiest.

It depends on which way you're headed after the game.

Parking lot across street from baseball stadium. Short walk to XL . Easy in and out to highways. $ 10 dollars.

read above response. You will be glad you did.

I third the motion. The lot across from the baseball stadium is the best for going home on I-91S or RT-2. And 84E and W for that matter.

So you need to get to Rt. 2. Then I like the outdoor lot at the corner of Main Street and Talcott St. (between Talcott and Chapel St.). Think they call it the Morgan St. parking lot. Very easy to get out of there and on to Rt. 2. It's about a 5 minute walk to the XL Center but totally worth the walk for not sitting in traffic for 30 minutes at the end of the game trying to get to the highway. Here's a link.

Looking at a map, there are a few lots across the street in both directions. Which lot is the one you are all referring to for $10? Thanks.

The Morgan St garage is probably just as easy for Route 2.

I like parking at the XL. You do have to get there early though.

 

[XLCenterFan]

I park for free along Bushnell Park...always easy in and out

Until your car gets broken into. That's happened to me twice over there. I'll spend the $10 and save the hassle.

How long does it take you to get to the highway from there? I parked there once, a long time ago, and it took me forever to get out of Hartford. Never did it again.

I know this is late and you are already at the XL Center (or should be close.), but coming form East Hampton, I park in the lot kitty-corner from the backside of XL Center, across from the church.

Have fun.

Probably 30 minutes. My wife likes to be able to leave her coat in the car, so it works out for me.

It's definitely convenient. Can't argue that. And I do the same for Celtics games and leave my jacket in the car. But I'm too impatient to sit in bumper to bumper traffic after a game for 30 minutes.

As if it couldn’t happen in a lot or garage. It’s never happened to me and I’ve been parking there forever. Stop the fear mongering.

It happened to me twice. The police told me it happens around there a lot. What, do you want me to lie?

Garages and lots obviously aren't full proof either.

You sound like someone from Andover or Coventry that is scared of cities.

You're funny. It hasn't stopped me once from going to any city. Including Hartford. I'm just careful where I park. I'm also careful where I walk at night in major cities. I think that's being prudent. Not scared.

What's your beef? I don't get where you're coming from. Just strange. Park wherever you want. Walk up Albany Avenue at night too. What do I care?

Science Center. A bit of a walk but you will waste more time waiting to get out of parking lot. Entrance to highway right there

Am I supposed to disbelieve that his car was broken into twice, because it's never happened to you? What if both are true?

It happened car was broken into twice to me twice. The police told me it happens around there a lot. What, do you want me to lie?

Sounds more like someone reporting that twice his car was broken into. What should I doubt him? Do you?

My car got broken into at work. I’ll never drive to work again. My car got broken into at my grandmothers house. I’ll never go there again. Apologies if I came off strong. I just don’t like taking negative occurrences and applying them generally, as if that is the common and regular occurrence. And I especially take issue with suburbanites scaring people away from Hartford. I lived there for 3 years and never had one issue. Parked on the streets my whole life with zero issues. Sorry it happened to you. Never want it to happen to anyone.

Nah you didn't come off strong. Appreciate your response so I didn't have to.
