FYI. Friday, March 14.

This is not a political post just an FYI. Apparently there is a protest/march on the Mall between 4th and 6th streets scheduled for NOON on Friday, March 14. Assuming traffic and parking will be a mess as a result. Plan accordingly.

Hope admins shut the thread down quick if it turns political.

The least they could do is wait till after the tournament!
How rude!

What are they protesting? Is it expected to be a big protest?

I’m watching.

Appreciate the heads up. I get to dc at 1 so hopefully no impact.

Any and all criticism of how they did it is certainly warranted, But hell yes. Co-champs

You giving up on the A-10 tourney before it starts?

 

[hoopsjunkie75]

Protest/March is scheduled Noon-6:30 (doubt it'll go that long though).

Here's that plan:

Arrive 30 minutes before the first game starts. Mason game over 7-7:30ish. Perfect, no travel disruptions.

Leave early, use metro - avoid the drama - drink early.

Problem solved.

Don’t know what dc for street closures - but if you don’t go too far in via constitution you should be fine. I mapped out that I should be fine going from union station to the gallery place neighborhood since everything is on the mall and south.

Or take the metro.

Nah--just would be nice to have another way to get more GMU men's basketball this year.

It’s my work philosophy on Friday

If I am reading the news correctly, it sounds like the planned protest today will be small.

a few of us will be getting into union station around 2 and had the same worry.

Should be fine. I’m getting in around 1 and expect no issues.
