Hopefully the organizers have learned something from last year's show in terms of traffic control. I was stuck in one of the parking corrales for several hours trying to get out. I had to get out of my car and go up and down the entrance/exit road to plead with the traffic control people to come over and stop the incoming traffic long enough for me and all the others in the same corrale to finally get out. It was a nightmare that I never want to repeat.

My strong suggestion for anyone going is to take a golf cart and park at the nearby rec center or neighboring streets and then walk the rest of the way to the event. Unless major changes have been made to the access/egress/parking situation at the polo grounds, it is entirely inadequate for an event of this size.
