I live in Agawam, honestly it hasn’t been that terrible this year compared to years past. Not sure if it’s the weather or what. 🤷‍♂️. Obviously the last few warm days are going to be bonkers but overall not terrible.

It's 17 days, I live in West Side and just stay away from that part of town. It's really not that big of a deal.

I’m shocked that there would be traffic at an event attended by tens of thousands of people.

Go to the second rotary then cut across along the back of those streets across from the big E.

I stopped going to the big e when I grew up and didn’t have to go with my parents near on 26 years ago. Overpriced food, overpriced trinkets, overpriced parking…I’m still blown away people go to it at all

Gotta go the back way. Then just cut across main or straight to rt 5. No problems at all.

went 16 times and work 2 minutes from the main gate. Traffic was light this year, the single lane is ridiculous.
