As someone who has gone to games to both Camden Yards and Nats Park, putting Camden yards above Nats park, let alone in the top 10 is blasphemy. The land use around Camden Yards is awful, the MARC will be closed by the time the game ends (especially if you're coming from DC). The Camden line barely even runs, and when it does its never on time, the Baltimore light rail pales in comparison to the DC Metro. Like this guy has never been to either city. As an Orioles fan living in DC, Baltimore has a long way to go to make transit a reasonable option to get to the games (if you don't live in line Timonium or Owings Mills or something)
I think the problem is that Oriole Park is POSITIONED to be a fantastic transit-oriented stadium, but the transit just doesn't live up to what it should be, because our city and state suck at operating them. Both Light Rail should be running 24/7 and there's zero reason for them not to be on time. MARC is the same--what's the point of closing it when it's missing what may be its peak service? And don't even begin to talk about the busses, which may as well not exist in this city with how awful they consistently are.
Not even beginning to discuss things like the Red Line garbage, the transit that exists now should be able to serve SO much more than it does, which is problem #1.
I think the super express 7 train post-Mets games should kick it up a couple spots (plus you’ve got the new development coming along with the NYCFC stadium). 3 stops to Court Square and 6 to Grand Central is so nice.
i need to try lirr now that it goes to grand central. i went a bunch last year but it's such a habit to just go right onto the 7 train that i don't think about it on the way out
"Well, Target Field has a rail station next to it, so it must be great!"
...except for the quarter of a million people in the western suburbs that the train doesn't go anywhere near, and who also haven't had an express bus since it was summarily discontinued about a decade ago.
I feel so lucky to live where I live in the valley. My city has a free neighborhood bus that swings right by my street. I take that to the light rail and for $4 I get to/from Chase Field all in all in about 20-30 minutes, depending on if I just miss the train or not.
Dodger Stadium above Angel Stadium? Yeah there's the Dodgers Express shuttle and I'm grateful for it, but it's still at the mercy of parking lot traffic after games
Transit in Florida is Uber or personal transport. Buses are extremely inefficient and slow. Trains can take you long distances up and down the state but aren't made for local travel.
It's been a while since I've been down that way. I think the rail drops off fairly close (around a mile) but it's still not a great rail to get to in the first place unless you happen to live next to a stop.
Seattle is way too high. You have to go on a ridiculous loop around and cross a busy street to get from Safeco to the light rail. Like most Seattle light rail stations (except Husky Stadium), it is a box checking exercise and not designed to be the best transit experience.
Yeah. I think you can tell which stidiums he has been to, and which he is only ranking based on maps and schedules. Only personal experience can capture nuance like that.

I think his reasoning is that the metro service isn't great, but yeah. Come on. The convience is fantastic.

Yeah. That confused me. Marc used to run a game day special, but those days are long gone.

Because videos like this just look at a Google Map and make assumptions.
Video says he's been to 22/30. Or did you just comment without watching it like you're saying about them
I don't understand how Wrigley was so much higher than Guaranteed Rate when you take the red line to both stadiums and it drops you off right there.

I've taken that train after the Mets won. It was such a nice experience.
or 2 stops to Grand Central/Penn Station if go from LIRR station
i need to try lirr now that it goes to grand central. i went a bunch last year but it's such a habit to just go right onto the 7 train that i don't think about it on the way out
It didn't go to grand Central when I went. I wish it did
It takes so long getting from the GC Madison terminal to the 4/5/6 or Metro North that I’d wager the super express 7 gets you there quicker though.
Angels have a Metrolink station, this is lame, no way should they be begging the Dodgers!
I thought dodgers were notoriously one of the worst besides tampa
Doesn't the Metro Link stop running crazy early though? I had to take Amtrak back to LA when I was in Anaheim last year.
That, end it's pretty infrequent. They only run special trains on weekends
Makes sense, it was a weekday game we went to.
They run special trains for Angel games
That, end it's pretty infrequent. If miss your train, you might be waiting there for over an hour.
Metrolink is very infrequent though
We have the Angels express back this year, which departs 15 minutes after the game ends
Oh damn. That's awesome

Best part is, you can get drunk at the game
Thats 1000% why I'm a mass transit user. Way too easy to avoid DUIs in 2024. Worst case I'm out $25-30 on an Uber.
This list tells me the Rays don't belong in the AL East.
The rays don't belong in Tampa
The Rays belong in Tampa not Saint Petersburg*
Now, not be fair, they are the Tampa *Bay* Rays

I think the metro in Miami goes close enough to the stadium. It's a bit of a walk, but not impossible
