Getting there
20 km (12 mi) separates Tom Gola Arena from Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) — normal for a city venue, and worth a line in the joining instructions rather than a shuttle contract.
This is an out-of-centre venue — 9.8 km (6.1 mi) from the middle of Philadelphia — which usually buys you parking and load-in access in exchange for a transport plan.
Philadelphia has 132 venues mapped in total and a population of 1,573,916. The Philadelphia guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
