    Stupid thread, I know, but that thought came to mind as I was driving home. I drove from Stewartstown, Pennsylvania, about an hour and 20 minutes. I'm sure there are others who had longer.

    I came from Hanover and a guy from York was there, so the York County contingent was three strong. :D My drive is about 1:45-2:00

    I came from a fantasy land where Hristo and Marco both capture their late 1990s form and led us to victory.

    I hope to never make that trip again.

    Yeah, the drive from York is 1:30 to the New Carrollton Metro. Then its another 20 min to the stadium. Wow! 3 from York County...amazing!

    I don't bother with the metro. Take 295 all the way to East Capital Street, park in lot 8. Easy in, easy out, no hassle with the metro.

    Yeah, thanks, next time I go down I'll probably do that instead of the Metro.
