Just to be clear, if I usually enter the stadium via 17th Ave and leave via 17th Ave Im not affected by this in the least. Is that correct?
If you are coming from the north on 71, it is actually easier to get in by exiting at Hudson, since there is no traffic coming across the bridge. On the way out, you can still set to 71 and head north by just going on to Weber.
Thanks to a late decision to go, I showed up later than usual last night, maybe around 7:10-7:15, and the exit off of 71southbound to Hudson was horrible. All sorts of people were trying to cut in (far more than usual) and traffic was not flowing well, despite there being no traffic coming across the bridge at all.
17th from the north isn't usually that bad, but I will be back to coming from the south next month after I move again.
