For Wayne Co. fans - If you are planning on eating in Paducah before the game, I would avoid Exit 4 off I-24 where all of the chain restaurants/fast food outlets/malls are. This will be Black Friday and there are regional malls and big box stores at that exit that draw throngs of shoppers from four states. Exit traffic usually backs up onto I-24 and there could be long delays and gridlock. I would suggest leaving I-24 on Exit 7, and taking US 45 into Paducah and to the stadium just off Jackson Street. There should be be a lot less traffic and you can still find some fast food (KFC and Mickey D's) near the stadium and a few others along the way. There also is plenty of parking to tailgate at the stadium if you want or there are some upscale local restaurants downtown by the river. Someone else may tell you different but that's my take on it. Safe travels.
