May 31 Riversharks Game - Directions

Greetings:

Hope you're enjoying your holiday weekend - we're on cruise control today, but I thought I'd send along a couple of reminders:

First, your mini-projects are still just trickling in - make sure you get them to me ASAP.

Second, remember that on Thursday, we've been invited by the Camden Riversharks to attend that night's 7 p.m. game in a luxury suite at Campbell's Field. I plan on getting there between 5:30 and 6 p.m.

AN IMPORTANT NOTE: The River Link ferry between Philadelphia's Penn's Landing and Camden's Waterfront is no longer an option! The last ferry back to Philadelphia from Camden leaves at 5:30, which does us no good, since the game starts at 7 p.m.

You can, if you wish, take the PATCO High-Speed Line to the game. The nearest stop to Drexel is located at 16th and Locust Streets. You would get off in Camden at the City Hall stop (the train actually stops at the Walter Rand Center) and then walk to the stadium. A one-way fare to the City Hall stop from center city is $1.15. Once you arrive at the City Hall stop, head west on Federal Street. You'll then turn right on to Delaware Avenue, which will take you down to the ballpark.

Here are the directions to the park if you choose to drive:

From Philadelphia - Ben Franklin Bridge - Cross the Ben Franklin Bridge. Stay to the right. Immediately past the toll booths, turn right onto the first city street, which is 6th Street (if you miss the first, turn right onto the second street, Broadway). Either way, make the second right onto Cooper Street. Follow Cooper Street to Campbell's Field.

From the Walt Whitman Bridge - Stay to the right and take 676 Camden Waterfront Exit. Follow that to Exit 5B. At the stop light turn left and go the short block to the next stop light and take another left. At the very next light (Cooper Street) take a right and follow that down to the Waterfront and Campbell's Field parking lots.

From 676 - Take Exit 5B (the last exit before the Ben Franklin Bridge). Take a left off the exit ramp (one way street) and follow it until you reach the big intersection, which is Haddon Ave. (7th street). Take a left onto Haddon Ave. and then take a right onto Cooper Street (you may be directed down Market Street). Either way, follow Cooper Street or Market Street to Campbell's Field.

No matter which way you choose, please be careful, travel in groups, and stay in well-lit areas!

See you in class.
