A couple other things to note are that parking spaces and hotel rooms near the venue may be scarce.
For those of you who haven't already noticed, the 4th of July falls on a Wednesday this year. That's right, smack dab in the middle of the week. Traditionally people like to create a long weekend by piggy backing some time off to the 4th, but which weekend will it be? The weekend before or the weekend after? Honestly I have a feeling it will be both.
Major league baseball's All Star 2007 game will also draw huge crowds from all over the country to the city that weekend as the big game is on Sunday 07.08.07 Hotel rooms will have limited to no vacancy as the date approaches.
Stressful? It doesn't have to be. Planning ahead is your best bet to insure you don't get tangled in the travel and tourism mayhem for that week. If you plan on getting a room (as an out-of-town guest or as a result of taking advantage of the 4 hour open bar) be sure to book soon.
I'd advise taking a cab or carpooling if at all possible or be prepared to walk a block or two after circling for parking. There is a pay lot a block down from Terra, so for a few extra bucks you can park your car and have that peace of mind. If you roll the dice and decide to drive, please give yourself a buffer of "search time". The ceremony starts promptly at 6:00pm and ceremony logistics make it challenging if not impossible for guests to enter the venue late.
