Title: Best route to walk to the stadium district?
Post by: BigGuy219 on November 22, 2010, 10:59:07 PM
I've never walked down there before, but now that I've moved a bit closer I think it's managable. I'm going to an event there this week, and would like to go on foot.

Any pedestrian tips? Straight shot down Bay Street maybe?

I have often parked for free on the street along Adams near the corner of Adams and Liberty... The walk from there takes you past Sulzbacher, over the creek, past the coliseum, ball park and takes 10-15 minutes.  Getting out of the game is extra easy as that 10 minute walk gets you ahead of most traffic leaving the stadium...

Straight down bay Street is your best bet...especially if your event is in the south end zone (Bud Zone and Terrace Suites).

You can also walk across the Duval Street Bridge and past the arena and ballpark

Duval St is the way to go!

I'm going to try Bay Street. I'm on my way to WWE SmackDown. I'm dissapointed ticket sales weren't strong apparently. I'd really like us to get a pay-per-view in the future.

I don't think the arena is big enough for a PPV (unless WWE attendance has dropped recently)...more likely they would have a PPV in Orlando or Tampa and hold live showing of RAW here the next night.

Personally I'll take the Skyway route down Bay Street and detrain at the Stadium Station, unless I take the Streetcar route over on Beaver...

Oh Jacksonville! How Apocryphal ye are!

Funny ^^^^^ I take Church or Duval. I've parked as far as BOA and walked to the stadium.
