Who has been to the Tweeter Center in Camden, NJ?

My recommendation would be to park somewhere in Philadelphia close to the river (Front Street?) and then to catch the ferry from Penns Landing (it takes you right to the Tweeter and Camden Aquarium). I think it is something like $5 round trip and it is worth every penny; it's better than parking in a different time zone and then having to sit in the post-concert traffic jam. Better still, take Amtrak to 30th St. Station and then take the subway to Penns Landing.

Doesn't the ferry crowd up, and also, doesn't it stop running before the concert ends? That's what I had heard.

I actually like the Tweeter Center. It's quite nice to watch the sunset over the river, though it is near a ghetto-ish part of town. I haven't had terrible experiences with parking--I've just gone and parked in one of the lots near the venue with the knowledge that I will have to wait a bit to get out. It's not nearly as bad as Nissan, which has one one-lane country road leading to it. Now that traffic is insane!
I've seen the Dead there a couple of times, which has been great fun. The funniest thing is that those venues in/near Philly always have tons of guys pulling big nitrous oxide tanks out of their vans and selling balloons for $5--it's wild. The security people drive around trying to catch people, so the guys just put the tanks in quick and drive to another place in the lot and pull them out again. Now I've never seen FM there so I don't know if the nitrous guys will be there Thurs, but I remember them being there for the TISL show I saw. Anyway, that's beside the point.

I think Stevie used the balloons for parts of the Shake The Cage Tour.
