>no earliest i can leave here is 2pm :/
MY ADVICE: Just go and have fun. Even if you don't make it in, be visible outside and take plenty of pictures to send in to the board. Also, take a poncho (if there is a chance of rain) and an extra charged battery for your phone. In Tampa, they had a big screen outside for people who didn't make it in due to filled capacity.
Yesterday, there were some shills here trying to telling Floridians that it was pointless to go because people had been camping the night before. It was total bullshit. I arrived a little before 2 pm and there was little traffic at that time. I waited in line for 2 hours before they opened the doors. My son and his friend got there late (after 5) and barely slipped in just before Trump began speaking. I don't know anything about the PA venue, but I would recommend using WAZE APP for getting there the quickest route around traffic.
It was a lot of fun just being around like minded people. Even while standing in the rain, no one complained and we even sang the National Anthem.
