These directions are quite different from the routing you receive from most GPS/maps apps
when using MVP Arena as your destination. You may find these directions easier to use as you’ll
use fewer side streets and all intersections are controlled by traffic lights. All routes used
in these directions are suitable for tall / long vehicles, such as motor coaches.

- Take Exit 23 toward I-787 N/Downtown Albany/Rensselaer/Troy
- Take Exit 3 for US-9 S/US-20 E toward Rensselaer/Empire Plz
- Keep Right, follow signs for Empire Plz
- Keep Left and merge onto S Mall Arterial, after merging, stay to the right

- Merge to the Right and then turn Right onto State Street
- Proceed ahead to Eagle Street
- Turn left onto Eagle St and then immediately Right onto State St
