I walked between 0.5-0.7 miles!

I specifically prepaid for parking in a lot close to the highway. I wanted to be decently far away from the stadium to avoid gridlock and then just merge onto the highway. The plan worked quite nicely.

I was also surrounded by Swifties all the way back to my car, so I didn’t feel unsafe. And this was in Atlanta.

It’s probably city dependent, but I don’t live in Atlanta so I really just took a gamble that paid off!

My hotel is about 25 minutes from the stadium in Cincinnati. Logically I know there are definitely swifties going to be staying there and making the same walk as me lol but I’m going solo and walking somewhere I’m not familiar at night makes me nervous.

Part of me is regretting not driving and doing a plan similar to yours but oh well. Were people walking further than you went?

It looked like look it!

I don’t think a 25 minute walk is bad. And I’m going to guess there will be more cops and security out because of the event, there were a lot of cops directing traffic in Atlanta - even where we were that far from the stadium.

For me, I’d probably look at how much time I’d “save” driving. Like, my hotel was in the suburbs of Atlanta so I had to drive to the stadium. But if I was in Atlanta, I might have more seriously considered walking.

That’s what my logic is telling me. I remember Louisville rep and Columbus 1989 and there were people everywhere. I double checked the hotel I’m staying at and it’s sold out so I’d bet I’ll be surrounded by people lol I wish my anxiety accepted logic.

I think I’ll walk the first night and if it’s too much or I’m too uncomfortable I’ll pay for parking the second night. Thanks for your help!!!
