Here's a handy Convention tip...

Don't drive.

I wrangled a parking pass for a friend with a mobility impairment. Took 45 min to get out of the lot after the show.

Conversely, the Broad Street subway lets you out right at the checkpoint. I believe all delegates got a weeklong pass?

after games or concerts. And don't let there be 2 or more events going on at the same time down there.
