September 1, 200520 yr A friend and I are going to the game Friday for the first time by ourselves! My question is how early do you need to get there to park? We live about an hour away and were thinking about leaving around 5:00 p.m. Any ideas if that will be enough time - we would be coming in off I-55. Thanks!

And where should we meet? Ok, seriously, I think 5:00 would be just fine. You can get off at the 35th street exit after you merge onto the Dan Ryan. You can also get off at teh Damon/Ashland exit, and take Ashland over to 35th street, and then park in the back way. Traffic really isn't too bad going into the city on 55.
September 1, 200520 yr Author Thank you! I'll be the girl in the Pierzynski jersey - but you won't be too impressed with me and my friend is pregnant. This was supposed to be our big night out without our men - but she went and got pregnant! Oh well, at least now I have a designated driver!

September 1, 200520 yr Author Enjoy the game Saturday and the excellent seats! Last time I went to the game, we clobbered the Yankees, so with me going Friday night and you going Saturday - I'm pretty sure we will be adding some W's!
September 1, 200520 yr By the way, here is a picture of me. I would love to get together some time for a Sox game. Feel free to post one of yourself.

September 1, 200520 yr QUOTE(valponick @ Sep 1, 2005 -> 12:56 PM) Don't forget your mullets. That's right...that is friday. They don't need their mullets...they can get one at the game for free....how wonderful.

September 1, 200520 yr QUOTE(mreye @ Sep 1, 2005 -> 01:47 PM) What? Friday is mullet day or something? Link? Its Mullet Night...you can get a free mullet hair cut, courtesy of Great Clips...or just show up with a mullet...real or fake...for the celebration. You can also be part of the mullet parade on the field, prior to the game. Exciting Stuff!

I graduated high school with the drummer from that band (if it's the same one.) Maybe I'll scalp my tickets for that night. Get it? Scalp?

He'll be here all week folks, try the veal and don't forget to tip your waitress! I almost kinda wish I was home to go to mullet night. I think it's a funny gimmick.

September 1, 200520 yr If anyone wants to meet up at the game and admire each others mullets let me know. I'll bet easy to spot, probably the only mexican with a mullet in the parking lot, fake of course.
September 1, 200520 yr I'll be there tomorrow as well. My wife is buying me an authentic Buehrle jersey at the game as her anniversary gift to me. She agreed to go only if she didn't have to wear a mullet.
