You know by now the traffic is horrible right? And the traffic crossing the Creek at rush hour is realy, really horrible...

Well - when the tennis is on ithe really just truly horrible...

... but the tennis is usually worth it - nice smallish stadium with good views from everywhere. you can have abeer and watch some tennis up close...

Saw Agassi v Federer a few years back and loved it.

No - it's not far.

Well, there will be plenty of traffic (probably), but it's so close that it won't take long. Just ask the cabbie to take you to the Irish Village.
