How far have you driven/would you drive for a WWE event?
I drove about 61 miles to go to Raw last night (about an hour and fifteen minutes). It's a little bit further when I drive to the Mohegan Sun for a WWE event. The drive to WrestleMania 20 at MSG, which I also attended, was about 190 miles (about three and a half hours). I don't think I'd drive further than that.

How far have you guys driven/would you drive for a WWE live event?

I went to Fayetteville NC for a Smackdown taping back in 2000 though to be fair it was on the way to SC where I went to college. Got tix at the box office the same day as the show amazingly.

I usually only go to the shows in Bridgeport, so that's about 45 minutes. I'd go to Hartford or something for the Rumble. One of these years I'm going to a WM no matter where it is...WM 30 at the absolute latest since it'll be in NYC and I could just take a train.

Never really had to drive any more than a half hour due to the Detroit shows being that close. But I would probably give an hour and a half or so as maximum driving time.

I don't really have to go far considering where I am. Furthest was probably Hershey, PA, so maybe 2 and a half hours.

Usually I'm within like 60 miles of an event and, at most, two hours to drive.

Though I'm considering going to Mania in the Georgia Dome, and if they do it again, Toronto.

1/2 hour to 45 minutes to Uncasville, CT for your typical Raw/Smackdown show. Always wished the Coliseum was still up, I'd be there every chance I got. Kicked around going to Bridgeport, but I hate that place so much.

Would take a train to NYC for one of the "big 4" shows.

I've driven for about 15 minutes to get to the live shows that are in the Civic Center in my city.

But to get to Mania next year... that's probably going to be a 2 hour drive.

By the time the dark match ends it'll be like 11:30, doubt I'd feel like stumbling home at nearly 2 AM if I gotta work the next day.

Bridgeport isn't too bad. I wind up on the main street right off the highway, so I just drive down there with the doors locked and windows up always elect to pay to park in the garage right next to the arena. Avoids encounters with crack dealers.

Boston is like a half hour trip from my house, so that's easy.
Worcester MA and Manchester NH aren't far either.
Worcester is closer to an hour and they don't run many events there any more. I haven't been there since 1999 for WWE.
I've never seen WWE in Manchester altogether, but it's also 40 minutes or less.

Mohegan is like an hour and a half. I've been there, but not for WWE. I would go to an event there since that drive isn't bad at all and I'd be with friends if I went.
I could also play some table games.

I really wouldn't travel much further than that for an event other than a Wrestlemania or Royal Rumble maybe. I wouldn't have to though.
I'd definitely consider going to the next Rumble or Wrestlemania at MSG. NYC is 3 hours from me, if there's no big traffic problems.

It would take me about 2 hours and 20 minutes to drive to Bridgeport, and about 20 minutes less to drive to Manchester, NH. I might give those a try sometime. You guys in the northeast should take a drive to Providence for a show.

The longest drive I've made for a show is about 1.5 hours in fact that so happens to be the minimum too wether it's a WWE televised event or not don't get any other major promotions here.
