TheZone78 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Hi all....I'm coming down for the home opener and have always wondered how you bypass Abbott Road from the 1-90 South. What would happen if you drove up California road (I think that's the name?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ndmanley Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Take South Park (you can get there a million different ways) to 20 West and head left (Northeast) and come into the stadium from the Southwest. Most people are coming from the North. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sound_n_Fury Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 IMO, the fastest way is to come up Clark Street in the Village of Hamburg and turn left on South Abbott and head north toward the stadium. You'll miss the bulk of the traffic that comes Lemming-like from North-to-South on Rt. 219. We used this "back door" when we had seasons tix and never had a problem with traffic. http://mq-mapgend.websys.aol.com/?e=9&GetM...2a%3agz7n%26%40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo in Pa Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Try this route - exit the thruway at the Bladell exit - do not take 219. Turn left onto Milestrip then right on Mckinley. Make a left onto Brompton Dr. just past the mall - then make a left onto Sheldon rd. That will take you to Abbott, just south of route 20. There is usually is no traffic on Brompton/Sheldon - however Milestrip to Mckinley gets backed up if you get there after 9:45. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Best way to the Stadium is get off at Transit Road (exit 49) of the thruway. Take Transit Road south for 7-8 miles. The road will bear to the right and become Southwestern Blvd. Follow it to the Stadium. There are several private lots along the way. This route has the fewest traffic problems IMHO.

Hammered a Lot Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! You can park your car, but you can never leave. So you hang out at the TBD Tailgate Party for a hour and watch all the fools waste their GAS. Traffic emptys out in a hour then you leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go Brompton to the end at Southwestern and park in a private lot across from ECC. Very easy to get out of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonInBuffalo Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 Google Map Here's the route I recommend: Get off the Thruway at the Camp Rd. (Route 75) exit. Take that approximately 1 mile to Southwestern Blvd. (Route 20) Take Southwestern Blvd. to the 7 corners intersection. There will be quite a bit of traffic here, (you'll probably have to wait at least 2 lights to get through the intersection) but it's the last real traffic you'll hit before getting right on top of the stadium. At this intersection you have a choice, depending on where you want to park. If you want to park in the Hammer's Lot, or in Lot 2, which is generally the last stadium lot to completely fill up, turn right on Big Tree Rd. and take that up to Abbott and turn left. Coming from this direction, once you get turned onto Abbott, there basically isn't any traffic at all. It's all coming from the other direction. If you want to park on the other side of the stadium, from the 7 corners intersection, continue straight on Southwestern up toward the Abbott intersection.

Lori Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 Milestrip - California - Southwestern is the way I come in from Amherst, when I'm parking at Hammer's lot. If you're planning on parking on the south side, Big Tree is a better option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southwestern is under construction between Camp and South Park. I would avoid Southwestern (Rt 20) and South Park at all costs. The delays are bad even with regular traffic.

Avoid this intersection at all costs! If you do take South Park, make a left on Big Tree and take it to Rt 20 or stay on it to Abbott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
