true, i just have horrible memories seared into my brain from a radiohead show a few years back ... took about 3 hours to get there from DC, about an hour of it was waiting on either 29 or 32 (can't remember which) to get into the merriweather area [/b]
yeah, thats the show i figured you were referring to.
as for my suggestion, even though i am from Baltimore, haha.
if you take 95 to 32, you end up on 29 anyway. and from what i gather, you're probably only hitting immense traffic on either because of concert traffic(pf which i predict there to be little of). here's why:
the directions posted on the website lead you directly into the parking lot from Broken Land Parkway, which means, you end up in this 20 mile long line to get to into the lot. and with 12,000 cars going into one entrance of a parking lot, it can cause problems.
That said, taking 95 to 175 and coming in from the north you can park in the mall parking lot and walk over (this makes it easier after the show too). this way you'll avoid almost all concert traffic since its not the directions listed on the website. and i bet its about all of 4 miles longer that way.
of course, if you park in the main lot, you'll get to see me on the way in
i cant believe i wrote that much about driving to merriweather.
