Galen Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Philadelphia's PPL Park will be hosting the YEA event on July 6th. A nice stadium from all accounts, but I've heard some horror stories of the surrounding area. http://www.yea.org/site/News2?page=NewsArticle&id=21884&news_iv_ctrl=1002 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very easy to get in and out of as well, as long as you avoid rush hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fran Haring Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 There's no need to go anywhere other than the park and the casino. And no sane reason, either. Last I checked, there are no double-decker tourist bus tours of Scenic Downtown Chester. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tito Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I live 10 minutes away from there. Agreed, don't go anywhere exploring! The stadium and casino are relatively well insulated from the questionable surroundings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MotoSurfBass Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 (edited) This may be the most exciting thing to happen to me all week. I've always wanted to visit PPL, but yeah, I've heard horror stories about the surrounding area. Still, PPL!

dans Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 There are some bad areas in close proximity to the stadium. Just have something that indicates you support Obama and the locals won't attempt any harm! The venue is very nice and the sound will be intense! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Oz Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Good stadium; a little upmarket from Rochester. Single deck on four sides. Seats 18.5k. (Designed to add a second deck.) Grass field. The sideline should be right next to the stands. Full view of the field from any seat. There may be some good places in Chester, but I don't know where they are and would not be interested in exploring. Tailgating before the event should be OK in the stadium parking lots. I would plan on leaving very soon after the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cage Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I would worry a lot more about the corps warming up, setting up dinner, and the vehicles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irony is this poster grew up a few miles from an urban area...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
