Coming Home Friday!

That's right, I'm coming home to a long planned game (Section 103, Row 30) this weekend. I live here in the Cincinnati area (Since '88), but die-hard saints fan since I was a child. In fact I won't even go to the sold out Bengals games if given the opportunity, unless there isn't a conflict with the Saints games (Gotta love Sunday ticket!). Anyway, I'll be coming in this weekend, escorting a few Bungle fans from work. I've not been to the dome since a teenager for a Saints game and wanted some insight. As far as I get it, most folks hang out in the quarter prior and after the games, instead of tailgating. So, how far is the walk to the Dome from the Quarter? Is there normally a big crowd commuting that route? What is the best route to take? Thanks much and Who Dat!
