    My boss sent out an email earlier today. I can't decide if this is gramatically correct or not. I figured the bright minds of OT could help out. Be well.

    "Please allow additional time for rush hour traffic, parking and navigating your way through what will seem like a foreign environment if you're coming later rather than sooner. You will find a central table with credentials just inside arena control on game night, just inside the parking lot entrance."

    oddly structured sentence, but nothing wrong with it grammatically. he could put a comma after "parking," but it's acceptable either way.

    It is poor English. Either of these two options would have been preferable:

    "Please allow additional time for rush hour traffic. You will be parking in and navigating your way through what will seem like a foreign environment if you're coming later rather than sooner.

    or

    "Please allow additional time for rush hour traffic as you will be parking in and navigating your way through what will seem like a foreign environment if you're coming later rather than sooner.
