'Madness' in South Philly

So you think we’re in the midst of March Madness. Wait until tonight. Especially if you’re going to be in the stadium area in South Philly.

This one has the makings of a driving nightmare.

Three different events will combine to create “madness” getting in and out of the stadiums.

Consider these things going on, all set to start around 7 p.m.:

* The Phils host an exhibition game against the Blue Jays at Citizens Bank Park.
* The sizzling Sixers host the Suns at the Wachovia.
* The Phantoms have a game at the Spectrum (No, they haven’t gotten around to knocking it down yet).

And here’s the deal. All these people likely will be trying to get out of the area quickly so they can get home in time to catch the Villanova game, which starts at 9:40 p.m.

I have just one word for you: SEPTA.

Take mass transit into the city and jump on the Broad Street Line.

And one other thing: Let’s hope some knucklehead doesn’t decide to have a standoff with police, shutting down the Walt Whitman Bridge tonight.

Unreal.
