Question about Shea Stadium...?

Question

My daughter is going to the game and I need to pick her up. Does anyone of a good location that is safe where I could arrange to meet her?

Answer 1

The area around the stadium is very busy and police keep traffic moving.  that makes pick ups and drop offs very difficult.  You could have her take the #7 train one stop to main streeet and meet her there.  If you do that, the best place to meet is by prince street.  That's one block back toward the stadium, but you may be able to find a spot to wait there.

Answer 2

The LIRR is a good way to go, very busy on game days.  Try picking a particular spot on the train to meet her at.

She'll be in a crowd going to the train, and she'll be in a crowd getting off.  Just tell her to get in at the front or back of the train, and meet her where you tell her to meet you.

Trying to get around Shea itself immediately after a game is insane; there are all kinds of weird traffic routings that might make it impossible to meet where you want to meet.

The LIRR is the way to go.

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask!

Answer 3

My friend, save yourself the trouble driving to Shea. Take the subway instead, it cheaper.

Good luck
