Getting to the stadium on a Monday night requires more than just a GPS; it requires a strategy. With the intersection of rush-hour commuter traffic and the influx of thousands of passionate fans, Monday's game (March 23) presents unique logistical challenges. This comprehensive guide provides everything you need to know about parking, road closures, and arrival times to ensure you are in your seat long before kickoff.
