Grab free rides, parking as traffic chaos takes over Philly sports complex Tuesday night
PHILADELPHIA - Phillies and Flyers and FIFA, oh my!
In just a few short hours, parts of South Philadelphia will resemble a parking lot as fans descend on the sports complex for three different games Tuesday night!
The Phillies will host Game 2 of the NLCS against the Diamondbacks at Citizens Bank Park just after 8 p.m.
Right next door, the Flyers are celebrating their home opener against the Canucks at Wells Fargo at 6 p.m.
And even Lincoln Financial is set to be packed - but not for an Eagles games! Mexico and Germany are squaring off at 8 p.m. for an international soccer game.
So, if you aren't headed to any of these game - avoid the area! If you are, prepare to be patient, and look out for free parking!
