February 13, 200422 yr I more likely than not going to the Baltimore game on March 27th at Ft. Lauderdale Stadium. I just don't know how to get there. From Hialeah (I live by the NW 103 Street exit off the Palmetto), how can I get there? I have never driven to Ft. Lauderdale on my own before. Help! Thanks!!!
February 13, 200422 yr http://www.mapquest.com/directions/main.adp?bCTsettings=1 If you go here, and type in your exact address and than the address to Ft. Lauderdale stadium. It'll give you step by step directions literally from the point of turning out of your own driveway to the entrance of where you want to go and the exact mileage. I did it with some of the caravan stops to find out where exactly they were and I found it quite helpful.
February 13, 200422 yr Commercial BLVD, with exits from the turnpike and I-95 - From i-95, head West - From Turnpike, Head East closer to I-95, than to Turnpike

The thing about Map Quest, sometimes it screws up the address or it isn't found (don't ask why). I'll check it out but I'd rather take advice from folks who know, know what I mean? LOL Thanks bud.
February 13, 200422 yr directionshere it is from Hialeah Variation from this route, would be to take i-75 North, then go East on I-595, then take the Turnpike North to Commercial Blvd, then go East til the Stadium For those that like to avoid I-95
February 13, 200422 yr I am pretty close to I-75. So that can work. Don't do that, no need to add miles to the drive and if you go up on a weekday, I-595 is a parking lot! Take it from me, I work in downtown Ft. Lauderdale (and I used to live in Hialeah). Take NW 67 Ave (or W. 12 Ave) or NW 57 Ave (W. 4 Ave/Red Road) to the Palmetto Expy. Go EAST to the Golden Glades interchange. Go to North I-95. Go north on I-95 to Commercial Blvd. exit. Take Commercial Blvd. WEST to NW 12 Avenue/Oriole Blvd. Go North (right turn) on to NW 12 AVE and the stadium will be on the right hand side.
February 13, 200422 yr Author So basically I don't have to go all the way to 12ave. I live by 16th ave and the 103rd street exit from the Palmetto. So I guess I can just get on the Palmetto to 826 E, right? Like if I was going to PPS? And get off on the Golden Glades interchange and so on? Remember I am pretty lost. I just started driving up north on the expressway on my own.

At the W. 49 St/Palmetto interchange, the expressway goes North/South. In Miami Lakes it curves east ("The Big Curve") and then goes East/West. So you could get on the Palmetto at W 49 Street and go on 826 North (which turns into 826 East).

I-595 is ugly going East from 7-9:30 AM I use I-595 to go to PPS on night games and it is a freeze

I-595 is ugly going East from 7-9:30 AM I use I-595 to go to PPS on night games and it is a freeze There is no reason to loop around to get there. Remember, I-75 goes WEST from Hialeah. Then you go north to get to I-595. Then, I-595 goes SOUTHEAST from I-75 to I-95. There is NO point in doing such a major loop and probably adding a good 10 to 15 miles to your drive. Geez, why not just stay on I-75, get on the Sawgrass Expwy, and then get off at Commercial Blvd. Take the direct route, you save gas and mileage!
