Drive! We go see Kenny Chesney at Metlife every year and make it back home in a reasonable time.

I'm sorry to hear that. Can't imagine anything more grueling than having to sit through that for over 2 hours. I hope you are provided with unlimited adult beverages to help drown out the noise emitting from the stage during the show.

Even if that's the case on a given night, you an use Waze or whatever to figure out where there's excessive delays and take another route home (via Manhattan or Staten Island).
I can't tell you why. It was a Wednesday night in August. If there had been an accident on the XBronx, it was gone by the time we traversed it and reached the TNB. I didn't know about Waze then, but I use it now.

I never found him attractive (a little too skinny for my taste). He's gotten better looking as he got older though. Just been digging their music since they came out. I've seen them 3 times in concert.

I personally don't mind waiting around after a show. My sister has off the next day and I'm going in late to work.

Are you leaving the show early or are you leaving early to get to the show?

I would drive...especially being preggers. The train home might get weird if the majority of people have been drinking. Plus, there's always germs and people breathing on you, odd smells, and of course waiting for the connecting train. All of this is might be bearable, but when I was preggo, these are the things that annoyed me. Have fun!

it's a summer Saturday in the tri-state area. There's going to be traffic on most of the major roads starting at 11:00 am or so. Leaving early to get to the concert will obviously get you there earlier, but you're likely still sitting in awful traffic.
