UPDATED: Fans of Texas Rangers, Paul McCartney to collide in Arlington
Updated 10:47 a.m., August 20, 2009
The big traffic snarler that is the sports district in Arlington will get its first big test tonight as the Texas Rangers are scheduled to play at home at 7 p.m., while Paul McCartney will put on a concert at Cowboys Stadium at 7:30 p.m. In addition to the streets being backed up for miles (during rush hour, no less), more than 57,000 people (that's it?) will be competing for a relative scarcity of parking spots. Have "fun," suckers.
UPDATE: Amazingly, people say the traffic wasn't bad. The Rangers game reportedly ended at 10:23 p.m. and the concert let out at about 11:40 p.m., leaving a nice come-and-go.

Not even my TomTom would be able to save me if I were to have any reason on being over there. Too many new roads and crap.
