Got off exit 18 and got to the bottom of The Hill, in sight of the Carrier Dome with 30+ minutes to go before opening face off. The stop lights were disabled, and at the intersections, traffic was being controlled by police. We ended up stuck in a snarl of cars, in this warren of one-way streets where we moved one block every 10 minutes. Every time we asked where the Dome parking was, an officer directed us to stay in the line. As it turned out, all the large lots were full, and the line we were in headed nowhere - it took us back to where we started! It took us close to an hour to get out of the traffic knot, park on a random side street halfway to Liverpool and walk to the Dome. Missed most of the first half. Great work by the SU facilities folks to coordinate with traffic control.
The game was awesome, though, so that was nice.
