Dinner update: the list of people attending the game is being assumed to be the list of people attending dinner. If anyone with game tickets does not want to attend dinner, or if anyone attending the game wants others to join the dinner, I need to know that
no later than 3:00pm on January 18th, since I need to have the final headcount in to the restaurant 48 hours prior to the event.

GAME PARKING:
I once used a parking lot behind Lincoln Financial Field for a Flyer game that only charged $5. My car was there when I came back, so it did the job for me. Ladies beware: the transit from the lot to the WF Center involves a dirt path that is under the elevated I-95. Appropriate footwear strongly recommended.

TICKET PICKUP:
For those who elected to pick up tickets in person, I will either drive or take PATCO (weather permitting) into the city. The majority of the hotel crowd seems to be around the Penn Square/City Hall area, so I'll camp out in the lobby of the Ritz-Carlton from about 11:15 or so, and we can run for our lives across Penn Square for the subway ride to the stadium. The subway leaves every ten minutes starting at :05 after the hour, and it's a 13-minute ride. Add on the walk at both ends, and it's probably a 40-minute door-to-door from the Ritz to the stadium. The reverse ride after the game can be one stop longer to Walnut-Locust, which puts us in perfect position for the Hyatt Bellevue and
icurhere2's generously provided suite and/or the bar at The Palm. From there, it's walking to Continental Midtown for dinner.

HOTELS:
Meetup postgame will be at the Hyatt Bellevue, courtesy of
icurhere2. Said hotel is about a half-mile walk from the restaurant.
