Question for you Everett fans....

[langdak]

Just had a couple of quick questions.

I am heading down to your building for the Oct 29th game when the Tips and Giants play.

I have never been down there before and was wondering about a couple of things.

First off, how long before the game does the building open? Specifically the will call booth, as thats where i have to pick up my tickets.

Secondly, where is the best place to park and what time should i be showing up to park to get a good spot.

I want to park in a lot that the hockey people will park in, i dont want to be on a sidestreet somewhere, i want the best general parking area, closest to the building.

Also, how much is parking gonna cost me?


Thanks in advance guys/girls, i appreciate your help and possible can meet some of you everett fans when i am down there.

Cheers!! :thumb:

Doors open 1 hour before game time. I am not sure what time will call exactly opens.

There is plenty of on street free parking around the EEC. There is really no need to pay for parking unless you really want to.

[Tipped Off]

The lot the Hockey people park in is closd ot the public. It is located on the Wall St/Broadway corner, but is behind a monitored gate. As Kristi pointed out, you COULD pay for parking within a block for $10 or so, but if you jsut go 1/2 a block further North of the stadium you can park by Taco Bell in the field for free.

Will call also opens 1 hour prior to game time.

It is on Broadway north of the arena. But you can park closer than that for free all around the arena. On street parking is all over around the arena.

Your vehicle will be safe. I have never had any problems parking on the street around the EEC.

I have paid for parking 3 times in 3 years if that tells you how prevelant free parking is.

Langdak,I parked on the street running north/south,directly to the west of the rink. Its right beside the rink and its metered parking,but you only have to plug the meter untill 6pm,its free after that.We parked there at 6pm and walked a few blocks west to "The Flying Pig" restaurant.Great place for pre game! All the waitresses wear Tips jerseys.Its packed before the game.All the fans were extremely friendly,too.One of the nicest barns I've ever seen,have fun,you're gonna love it!

langdak, as everyone has said, you'll have no problem finding parking near the EEC. I usually park within two blocks and have never once felt the need to pay for parking.

If you're going to go to the Flying Pig before the game, and want to get directions through mapquest, the address is:

Flying Pig Brewing Company

If you want a table at the Flying Pig I would suggest getting there no later than 4 pm. I have only been there a couple times on game days and if you aren't there early you will not get a table.
