I'm easy. Let's just decide soon. You're right about Yardhouse being busy ~ it's really busy anytime there is a concert. How is parking at Knowlwood's?

Gotta love Google.........Click on Satellite and zoom in.
That is the aerial shot of Knowlwoods. It looks to be about 3 miles from the Spectrum. Maybe drop vehicles off at the Spectrum on the way for carpooling.
I've never been up there but from the aerial view it hardly looks like a place to leave cars. Seems an easy stop and drop at the Spectrum on the way to the ampitheatre.

I think it should be an ok place to leave cars. That big brown building next to it is a hotel! People leave their cars there all the time.
I say lets stick to the original plan of Knowlwoods. It's a big place, and its never crowded.

Okay, I'm making a command decision (for myself at least).Archmagician said:I think it should be an ok place to leave cars. That big brown building next to it is a hotel!

I'm going to Knowlwoods. As much as it would be cool to meet as many Maiden fans as possible ~ it will be hard to manage at Yardhouse with that many people. I've been to Yardhouse on concert nights before and it's always a zoo. We'll all eventually see each other at the concert anyway.

Aye, Aye Captain W.
See you there.Jim
BTW, I just want to make sure that no one took my "Bad idea" post as being insulting. It wasnt meant to be. I just strongly felt that it was a better idea to meet at Knowlwoods (Believe me I dont own Knowlwoods stock 
).
I really look forward to meeting all of you!!!

What is the name of that hotel name Arch? Depending what time all this ends I may crash up there rather than drive back to SD at 2 in the morning.
Sunday is our 7th anniversary so I can't sleep until 1 in the afternoon. :zombie: :zombie: :zombie: My wife would kill me.

No problem. It was just a suggestion. If we have some members that don't check the board often enough to see a change, then my suggestion wouldn't work out.
I guess I'll just head over to Yardhouse at 3 and hang there for a while before heading over to Knowlwoods.

Irvine has a curfew of 11 pm I believe since there are homes within earshot of the venue.

Don't know..haven't parked in the main lot in a couple years.
I used to park across the street in the business complex and got out of there no problem. But someone told me they started towing cars that park over there now. So I would suggest parking as close to the exit as possible since there's only one way out.

The closer you park to the exit/entrance, the quicker you will get out. It's not that bad. Just don't be one of those fools who leave early, before the show is over, just to get out to avoid dealing with the traffic.
Congrats to Iron Maiden - the show is officially SOLD OUT! Last time they played in the LA area (not incl. Ozzfest - what a disaster) they could not sell 3/4 of Long Beach Arena, which is smaller than Verizon Wireless.

I usually park slightly outside the city limits of Irvine and walk. I need the exercise and simply walk through the traffic jam fighting to get out.

That might seem like a good idea before the show, but I know everytime we've done that and had to walk miles back to wherever we were staying afterwards, battered and bruised, it's not quite such a good idea!!
Yea, the sprectrum is a huge mall. You name it, they got it. You'll have no problem burning time there. Go seen an IMAX movie (if it's a good movie playing). The IMAX is impressive. There's something like 21 theaters there, so you could even slip into other movies, but if you want IMAX, you can't slip into that, you have to buy that ticket, then slip into other theaters from there.
Parking - Drumslut has it right. Don't leave early to beat the rush out. You can minimize your exit by parking near the exit. Sometimes I'll hang for 15 minutes or so, you'd be surprised how much it dies down when doing that.
