^ True, I had to park at level 7. It took me about 30 minutes to get out. Good luck!

i'm going to the game tomorrow, and since we're on the topic, how early would one need to get to TC to be one of the first 5000 fans and get one of them free hats that they're giving away?

i was thinking around 5 or 5:30 for the 7:30 start time

i hope OP doesn't get too mad that i'm asking for advice in his thread, but i'm sure this could be useful info for him too.

You should arrive between 5:00 - 5:30. I don't think people care about a cap that much, but to be on the safe side you should be there around 5:00.
