Rating The Transit To EVERY MLB Stadium!

[@ninjahotdog9036]

Taking the 4 train, exiting the tunnel into the sunlight, then pulling into the stadium with tons of other fans there to see the Yankee game is an iconic experience.

[@Nozizaki]

That is an offensive ranking for the Nationals. The green line literally has a stop called Navy Yard-Ballpark and the land use around the stadium has gotten quite good.

Agreed the Metro in DC is ELITE, I'm an O's fan though so I'm glad Camden Yards was in the Top 10 😁

[@eddiejc1]

Another thing-- sur you are penalizing stadia for having too much parking and discouraging fans from taking mass transit, why rank OPACY ahead of Nats Park? The parking lots surrounding Nats Park are small, expensive, and hard to get to. Many Nats fans have to take the Metro to go to the ballpark. Orioles fans have the option of driving to two huge surface lots by the stadium, and most do.

[@Molejules]

As a Bostonian, I have to agree with the Nats fans: ya shafted DC.

[@jasonschwartz8507]

Nats Park is way underrated in this ranking. Opening day this year the station serving the stadium saw 40,000 total trips - a post pandemic high. Also tons of new development recently delivered and under construction.

[@JLopez-g1n]

I was coming in to say the same thing. As a DMV native, I've been to both Nats Park and Camden yards many times. The fact that Camden Yards was put in the top 5 when the MARC line has limited scheduling on the weekends, as well as the fact that the only good places to go after the game are right next to it (try to go anywhere else and you end up in the ghetto) makes this feel biased. I'll agree that Camden Yards has more personality than Nats Park, but when it comes to transit, Nats Park wins hands down.

[@mattbalfe2983]

Nats Park also has great bike access.

I'm already a suffering NATS fan..But the one thing Nats have is A Ton of transit to Nationals Park - Bus lines 74, P6, V1, V4, A9, W9 and DC Circulator all get you very close to the stadium. MetroRail on a big attendance night might be waiting for the next train, The platforms at Navy Yard/Ballpark Station are really quite large and can accommodate thousands of people. at a time.

I was in Tysons Corner, VA for a meeting and decided to watch a Nats game. Couldnt have been easier to get to the stadium and hang out afterward. Nats are underated here. And this is from a Yankee fan.

[@Jack-sq6xb]

I gotta severely disagree with the rating of Nats park, seriously. By land use around the stadium and proximity of the transit station and minimal parking the stadiums amazing. It deserves atleast top 10 and not to be put with other stadiums that have parking lot seas around them

[@climateandtransit]

By transit not land use*

[@tapdancer4327]

Came here to say the same thing. Seriously how did it not even crack the top 10. The recent redevelopment in the last 5-10 years is an urbanists dream. I lived there car free and it is superb

[@hannahemartin1]

​@@climateandtransit transit is still the #1 way that people arrive to Nationals stadium though. The green line runs every 8 minutes in each direction and can deliver upwards of 750 people per train. And they run extra trains back into downtown (so every 4 mins north and every 8 mins south) after heavily attended games let out. That's not counting the more than half a dozen bus lines nearby either. Compared to the nearby Orioles stadium, you touted MARC but the train literally does not run during games. It's a commuter rail that stops running from Camden at 6:15pm on weekdays and it doesn't operate at all on weekends. Failing to take into account frequency and schedule of the lines you counted towards access really messed up you rankings.

[@Pat4ever.]

The Nats and Phillies are two low. Both among the highest of rail users per game. Also DC has a whole neighborhood around it. For CPB and Citi both are building an entertainment district and in the case of CBP will include residential and commercial

[@chrispontani6059]

Taking the 4 Train to Yankee Stadium, especially your first time there is a great experience. You’re underground coming uptown the entire time and the first time you come above ground, bam, the stadium is right there. You come down under the el tracks and all the bars/restaurants/souvenir stands and commotion. It’s incredible.

[@mr.b3168]

Damn, I skipped to the top 3 expecting Wrigley field. There's no parking lots in that entire neighborhood. Literally no car parking. Brown line, Red line, buses. Guess I need to check out the other places. I've been to SF and I guess I can agree, but the immediate area sorrounding it isn't very pedestrian friendly. At least from what I remember.

[@SidHickenbottom]

Lived in Chicago for 14 years (nearby for 36), SF for 16. Wrigley is way more pedestrian friendly. I don't find Oracle super convenient via transit but I also live across town. I'd still place Wrigley higher.

[@NarradorNicolas]

I live just outside of San Diego and never take my car to Petco Park because I don’t need to. I can walk 25 steps from my bedroom to the bus stop outside my house, use the bus to go to the trolley and use the trolley to get to the stadium. It is awesome and super convenient.

[@kaicandoit]

MBTA has famously bad reliability, but 3 out of the 4 Green Line rail Iines run to Kenmore station + the D line at a designated Fenway stop (Kenmore is still closer, btw). On top of the Commuter rail stop next to the park + endless bus routes. But aside from transit, Fenway is probably the most walkable stadium area next to Wrigley. It's insane how dense and lively that area is in comparison to any other stadium.... but I'm also a huge redsox fan (and from Boston), so I might be tad biased here giving the yankees a higher ranking than us...

[@williamerazo3921]

Kenmore s way closer

[@bbmikej]

You would be amazed the transformation the Navy Yard and Buzzard Point have been going through over the past 5 years in DC. A lot of the land that was once things like warehouses and manufacturing have been turned into restaurants, shopping, and housing. It's been so fast that the globe view on Google Maps isn't anywhere near accurate to what it looks like today.

[@tomgeraci9886]

@@williamerazo3921Kenmore is closer (as is Lansdowne on the CR) but coming from the west, it’s more direct to get off at Fenway

[@Jenaxu]

As a biased Yankee fan, Yankee Stadium definitely beats it out, mostly on commuter rail imo. Fenway is really only conveniently served by commuter rail on the Framingham/Worcester at Lansdowne, Ruggles/Back Bay is okay too for Franklin/Needham/Providence but it's like a mile walk, and any other commuter line requires a transfer on the T which can add like 35ish minutes. For Yankee Stadium not only do we get direct service for the three main Metro North lines (Hudson/Harlem/New Haven), it's trains timed before and after the game. So even with extra innings or a long rain delay you will never miss the train out to anywhere north of the Bronx which is a huge huge plus. Plus 24/7 subway and extra service to and from Grand Central makes access even from the south of NYC on like LIRR or NJT not terrible, and the trains out of Manhattan are just more frequent and run later than MBTA. For Fenway you do have to keep an eye on the schedules, and the commuter rail headways are not amazing, like one train every two hours in the evening and the last one at around 11:30pm for most lines. It's still like a 9 in the context of the US, and the surrounding land use is better and more lively, but you just can't really beat the MTA on transit. I'm not sure if any other stadium has direct trains, let alone direct trains from places 60+ miles out... you can very realistically go to a weekday game after work or school from New Haven and still make it back at a reasonable hour without driving at all, it's just another level.

[@snowless456]

As someone who works for the Wells Fargo Center in Philly, I will say that the parking lots suck, but the station is not too far and there are wide sidewalks in between. They are planning to develop some of the lots tho so that’s nice… NOW EXTEND REGIONAL RAIL DOWN THERE!

[@billcook4768]

30 years ago I was trying to visit every stadium and often used public transit because that was my nature. (Side note: gave up on my quest because stadiums I had visited kept getting replaced.) Went to a game at The Big A in Anaheim. 40,000+ in attendance. Post game public transit consisted of exactly one city bus that left 30 minutes after last out. There were six of us on the bus. Public transit wasn’t exactly a thing in Orange County back in the day. But they are still the only bus system I’ve ridden that has dedicated space for surf boards, so I’ll give them that.

[@breakingborders]

Oracle Field of the Giants just got a brand new MUNI subway line, the Central Subway that has a station two blocks from the stadium, next to the Caltrain depot. That's in addition to the current Embarcadero line that connects directly to BART. BART brings people from the East Bay and south of the city. The nearest BART station, Embarcadero, is a short, beautiful walk to the ballpark. Many people walk, but it's a quick light rail ride otherwise. Another new development is the construction of a mixed use development across from the ballpark that includes offices, restaurants, shops and a waterfront park to kick it at before the game. Not to mention the improved ferry service and excellent city bus options.

[@justinfauntroy8979]

Nats Park at #12 has got to be trolling, right?

[@jacobbrewer8640]

Saint Louis is heavily underrated. There is a line that drops you off right outside the stadium and after the game they are able to separate people going east and west pretty easily. I lived 30 minutes out from Busch when I lived there and never had a problem getting to the stadium on the Metro.

[@mrxman581]

A gondola system is currently proposed to serve Dodger Stadium. If it already had the gondola system, where would you place Dodger stadium on the list?

[@cameronhoodcree]

I’ve lived in Atlanta my whole life and have ridden the bus to Truist Park it’s actually not that bad. No, It’s not a rail connection like the Mercedes Benz Stadium or State Farm Arena nor is it operated by MARTA, but the express bus (Cobb Linc R10) gets you there from the Arts Center MARTA in midtown in a reasonable amount of time. One downside though is that that portion of the route the bus is often over crowded especially during rush hour so the Cumberland area is definitely in need of a rail connection. But aside from the overcrowding it’s not that bad

[@garethbentall6194]

Nats Park below Camden Yards?! Come on man.

[@jonathand6021]

Angel Stadium is right across the parking from Anaheim ARTIC station they actually have special time train service for games. Dodger stadium almost as good, from Union station, a free designated bus gets you to all games.

[@justkallmekai]

Definitely a lot to be desired. When I went to Philly and NY it was great being able to just take the train to and from. Can't say the same for either Angel or Dodger stadium

[@ghr180]

Cool video idea! One comment from the mid Atlantic though, transit to Nationals Park in great with very good Metro service, definitely faster and more reliable than what you get in Minneapolis or Baltimore for example. I've also gotta point out, the Camden Line does not run on weekends or late enough to use to take to games, so Camden Yards is definitely overrated from that (local transit is fine, but IMO Nats Park wins.over Camden Yards).

[@666mathew]

I know it's been 20 yrs since the Expos left, but it was very easy and swift to get to a game by metro.

[@jcbaker10]

The secret from getting back from Expos games was to use the station under the Biodome instead of Pie-IX. You could grab a seat mu h essier!

[@bbmikej]

I would be willing to say that National's Park has better connections that even Fenway. The Fenway station on the Green Line is almost a half mile away and runs something like 15 minute service. The Kenmore station is a bit closer at a third of a mile, but you have to snake your way over a highway to get there. It does have better service though as it has 3 branches running through it. National's park has the metro station a block away and it was built as a high capacity entrance. Probable 75%-80% of people take the green line there. As other's have mentioned, the standard service is 8 minutes with special gameday service decreasing headways. Add to the fact that you are only 2 stops from L'Enfant where is connects with the Yellow, Blue, Orange, and Silver lines and it is really well connected to the region. Go 2 more stops and you hit the Red connecting ever line within 4 stops. If you really want to throw it in there, VRE connects to L'Enfant also. Not to mention the 6 or so bus lines that connect at the station. I'd be willing to say it has better transit than Oracle Park also. Oracle park has the train station a block away that connects it to the further out places of the region. But you have to take a light rail along the waterfront or walk a quarter mile and take a different light rail line another mile to even connect it to BART and the rest of the city. Both of those lines are surface running so you can get stuck in traffic also.

[@bbmikej]

Also want to mention, I've been by Yankee Stadium on a gameday and the 100+ year old subway stations cannot handle the crowds anywhere near as well as Navy Yard-Ballpark can.

[@I.PittyTheFool]

I'm bias as a Minnesota Twins fan, but I would say Target Field is one of the easiest to get to. There is a light rail that pulls up to the front of the stadium that leads to multiple parking locations around the greater metro area, including the Mall of America. There are three parking garages connected by skywalks to the stadium and multiple small local lots within a six-block walking area. There is also a private parking lot for the VIP section behind home plate. I've used all of these options, and the field is very easy to access. I think there is also a bus line, but I have not taken it; however, private busses can pull up to the front of the stadium.

[@paulteese4221]

When I was a kid growing up on Long Island, me and my teen age friends would take the train to Shea for Mets games. For us, it was the LIRR the whole way, the Babylon line through Jamaica to Woodside, then back out on the Port Washington branch to Flushing. It was fun.

[@666mathew]

Off topic, but I heard it's a nightmare to get to Naussau Coliseum with LIRR.

[@EvanWeiler]

Correction on the Seattle light rail: the 2 line won't be opening on the west side of Lake Washingtn until 2025. The April 27th opening is just for the east side of the line as they still need to do a ton of work to fix the issues plaguing the section that goes over the I-90 bridge. The progress on the light rail expansion as a whole has been painfully slow with projections for a "full network" not being ready until about 2040.

[@nathanward9972]

Man, I'm having a really hard time with this one. I've been to every MLB stadium and, I can tell you from experience, these rankings aren't accurate at all. Firstly, to rank Nationals Park so low is a disservice. That park is very easy to get to via public transit. PNC Park as well. On the flip side, I did take public transit to Wrigley Field and it was an absolute nightmare. One of the worst around. It was WAY easier to get to Guaranteed Rate. Dodger Stadium? Tropicana Field? These ones absolutely suck as well.

The 7 train for the Mets is so beloved that the traveling fan club is named after it. When John Rocker in the 90s verbally attacked the people who take the 7 train, the whole fan base rose up against him.

[@BertoV]

I’m originally from Pilsen and my family is by midway but I’m currently living in Wrigley. Comiskey is so much easier to access when I’m commuting from Wrigley as opposed to commuting from the south side, I have to commute to the orange line then travel downtown to transfer to the red line when I could take a quick ride from Wrigley. Leaving a game is horrid. Sox-35th isn’t safe and if you’re trying to go west to the orange line, you’re waiting for the unreliable 35 bus or walk west to Halsted and hope the 8 bus is running decently to get you to the Halsted orange line. The Sox def have advertised their parking and their location next to the Dan Ryan in favor of the cta.

[@giacobbeperales5926]

Bridgeport isn't safe? It has one of the lowest crime rates in Chicago. Definitely safer than going to the United Center where I had my car stolen. I grew up by Midway and you can take the Archer bus to 39th St. It's very easy. But it's even easier to drive if your on the southside because their is plenty of parking and not much traffic.

[@ChrisGnam]

What an insane place to put thr Nats. Yes, as others have stated there is "only one" heavy rail line. But yoyr stated reason for leaving it out of the top 10 was land use... yet you put the mets ahead of it? Nats Park is surrounded by a thriving walkable and bike friendly development that is rapidly growing. Hell, the stadium itself has a BIKE VALET because biking in the immediate area is so popular with many protected lanes/paths. The land use around the Nats stadium blows almost everything in your top 10 out of the water, and is only getting better. And its one rail line is just 2 stops away from the connecting to 4 other stops, and ~6-8 stops from Washington Union and DCA. This all without getting into the many bus routes. Im not saying its number 1. But your stated reason of bad land use just doesn't make sense. And below camden yards???? MARC cant even get you to/from something like 95% of games at that stadium because it doesnt run late enough.

[@jhawkkw87]

While I didn't expect Nats Park to be in the top 2-3, leaving outside the scope of the top 10 is ludicrous. While it only has one metro line directly connected to the ball park, the size and scope of the DC Metro system is second to only NYC. L'Enfant Plaza is only two stops to the north of the stadium and services 4 of the other 5 lines in the system (it also services the VRE light rail line). Gallery Place, which services the only line not serviced by L'Enfant Plaza, is only 4 stops to the north and Gallery Place is where the arena for the Wizards and Capitals play. Sufficient to say many of the comments agree that you botched this ranking.

[@Gfynbcyiokbg8710]

Except every other stadium above it has SEVERAL rail connections. If there's an issue on the green line, everyone is screwed

[@hillcitian]

As a Rockies fan, I think we were a bit low. It usually was a lot easier to take the light rail into downtown than to park there.

[@StLouis-yu9iz]

WOW, I can't believe you ranked Busch Stadium so low. The red and blue lines stop right by it. There's a reason we made City Nerd's Top 10... the only thing holding it back is the elevated highway near. :/

[@vancedurbin1132]

I take the Metrolink from Fairview Heights. It's convenient!

[@destroyer-cq2lm]

St Louis has a stop 1 block from the stadium for their light rail

[@MikeIzzle_]

I was planning on a trip to Clearwater, Florida and I really wanted to catch a Rays game but chose not to since the only way to Tropicana was by a 50 minute Uber. Accessibility brings crowds, explains why they pull maybe 10k a night

[@Knightmessenger]

Just went to Tropicana. It's actually in a nice historic urban neighborhood (but unfortunately surrounded by a moat of parking on 3 sides). Needs better transit access from other areas of the bay. Imagine if there was no rail that went to White Sox or Wrigley and how much harder it would be for people at Willis Tower to go to either.

[@melv6012]

Nats park has to be at least top 5 imo and I'm not even a nats fan. Great vid though!

[@snowless456]

Quick correction: only the Hudson Line really serves Yankee Stadium for MNR; the local Harlem line stops at Melrose, from which you can take the bx6 a few stops or walk 20 minutes.

[@timothystamm3200]

But on game day don't they run special Harlem and New Haven line trains to the Yankee Stadium station?

[@SupremeLeaderKimJong-un]

There is game day service to Yankee Stadium on the Harlem and New Haven lines

[@cullenpeterson]

Makes me wonder if my affinity for the Lightning (as a tampa native) as opposed to the Rays has something to do with the fact that I almost exclusively walked to the games growing up.

[@Knightmessenger]

I just visited Tropicana and really liked it. (Aside from the giant parking moat) The neighborhood around looked really nice too, it's a shame there isn't a better connection between Tampa and St Pete. I mean the airport has a tram that goes to the car rental lot, it would not require a lot more distance to connect that with the Tampa streetcar. And if Brightline does extend their rail from Orlando to Tampa, having a rail connection to St Pete would make a lot of sense.

[@Knightmessenger]

It's funny how you gave Detroit a significantly lower ranking here than in the NFL video despite the stadiums being next door to each other. But I understand you factored in how many people actually use the transit vs drive this time.

[@MaddMan621]

I'd love to see that non-transit ballpark ranking and why you think Citi and Yankee are bad!

[@cyborgspaceman]

My only complaint is allowing the Yankees to have ANYTHING nice.

[@Sean8888TTP]

When you said mutiple bus lines it’s actually only served by the Q48, soon the Q50

[@Ell-J]

Yankee stadium is the best,and not because I'm a Yankees fan. There are at least 3-5 ways to get there. The 4-train,the B/D trains,an Uber/Lyft,Metro North Train,the 6 Bus,and a few other buses that stops near the 🏟️.

[@wiggetman]

cities feild is great for transit I went to ny over the summer was super easy to get there

[@hamburglar83]

White Sox, you can take transit right up to the stadium…..and you can drive. Cubs …..no parking at all. And then you give the Mets a better ranking and it’s completely parking around.

[@TheJSQUAREDTV]

Having Camden Yards over Nationals Park just shows that simply doing a Google search is not enough research. The MARC train doesn’t even operate at night when most O’s games end.

[@andy7376]

I was at a Yankees game almost 2 years ago & can confirm their transit was very good

[@jacobc.5557]

so excited for the nba video next 😄

[@GetFilmSchoold]

Nationals Stadium is totally underrated (Top 5 easy). I live in DC but I am from NYC and i'm a Mets fan -- Nationals Stadium it easier to get to than Citi field. (Fun fact: Citi Field and Nationals Park are basically the exact same stadium design. Only real differences are the entrances.)

[@chasevogt2090]

Missed on Cincinnati bro, streetcar, metro, shuttle, tank bus and a dedicated pedestrian only bridge and pedestrian only open container Dora district

[@andrewbrown1067]

.I been to 29 parks (haven't reached Toronto yet...would have but thats another story). Regarding the Garbage Tier you have to Uber to Globe Life no ifs, ands, or buts. You could also stay at a hotel by Six Flags but that requires a 30 minute walk lol. Same goes for truist park but there's a hotel thats also a 30 minute walk to there. KC and Milwaukee are worst. No hotel within miles might as well Uber from downtown and back. I'd place Miami/Cincinnati in garbage tier as well. Have to Uber from ballpark to hotel as the areas there are very sketch.

[@rstreet5537]

I live in the #DMV so I have access to Camden yards and Nats park when I worked at Camden yards the light rail drops you off right next to the stadium There no real reason to drive to Nats Park because of metro

[@tylerkochman1007]

Not sure how you can dock Wrigley for CTA unreliability; but make no such stipulations for San Francisco. Their light rail has one of the most HORRENDOUS records for on-time-performance. Same for Green Line in Boston. You mentioned the unreliability, but sounded far more forgiving than you were of CTA.

[@Geotpf]

The final station on CalTrain is incredibly close to the stadium so it should get massive points for that alone.

[@tylerkochman1007]

@@Geotpf plans are for that to eventually end. They want to reroute Caltrain all the way over to Transbay

[@RipCityBassWorks]

I wonder if there is a reason that MLB stadiums see much better transit and land use than NFL stadiums? Many more games a year for baseball compared to football? More additional events that draw more use? Cities wanting to copy the very successful historic urban stadiums?

[@R160A]

According to Jake Berman, author of The Lost Subways of North America, he argues these same points using Cleveland as a case study

[@Knightmessenger]

It's easier to convince people to drive somewhere, park and tailgate 8-9 times a year (usually on weekends) than to do it 81 times on all days of the week. That being said, I'm still thankful my Lions returned back to Detroit from a suburban mall parking lot setup in Pontiac.

[@shanesarnac6991]

I disagree with the ranking for Coors Field. It is less than 10 minutes walk from Denver's Union Station that is served by almost every light rail and bus line serving the Denver metro region, including rapid bus service to Boulder and Fort Collins. Plus, like Petco Park, Coors was built in a rundown warehouse district and was a big part of revitalizing the Lower Downtown (LODO) part of downtown Denver in the early 1990's. I have taken public transit to Coors for hundreds of games from all over the region.

[@yoni_rev]

Love that the top 5 included 4 AL East teams, including my Blue Jays 🙌

[@beeendub123]

The AL East (except for TB) is just top notch.

[@Ozmodiar6]

Brewers might not have transit but there are dozens of bars that offer free shuttle to and from games.

[@leesalawitch1386]

Pittsburgh native living in Baltimore...I hate to say anything positive about this place, but Orioles Park is also served by the city's subway or Metro, a few blocks away.

[@danielm5805]

It’s easier to get citi field than yankee stadium my opinion

[@jetfan925]

The next three seasons for the Athletics will get downgraded when taking transit from Downtown Sacramento.

[@CSXIV]

This is the second video I've seen on transit to a baseball park and you both have the same top 3. Both of you also didn't mention that Oracle Park is an extended walk to a BART station. Yeah, the lighrail connects to that BART station, and when seen on a map it looks just outside of walking distance, but there are a lot of people that make that extended walk as opposed to using the lightrail that last mile. I actually get annoyed when my family inisists on driving to Oracle. Being stuck in a car while watching the train I would have been on pulling out of 4th and King is very annoying.

[@thanebrehmer124]

Another banger video 👍🏻🔥

[@conorgilles81]

T-Mobile Park is so accessible by transit, you don't even have to be in the Seattle area to use transit to get there. I have taken Amtrak's Cascades from Portland to watch a day game, and back in the same evening. The train departed late getting there, and it hit a fallen tree on the way back, but I didn't have to deal with traffic and I didn't have to look for parking or pay for a hotel.

[@zch7491]

Coors field is 16? It's right by union Station, all denver trains lead to the stadium. What are you talking about

[@anthonyburnett2196]

As a Red Sox fan, as soon as you mentioned that you couldn't decided which to put first I thought "no way he puts Boston first with how messed up the T is"

[@chrissimmons9743]

2:14 So much like the Cardinals in the last video of this type, the Braves did pretty poorly, but unlike State Farm, Truist Park at least has multiple ways to go. Anyone who saw my comment of this variety on the last Transit-Stadium video will probably remember that State Farm Stadium was only served by Valley Metro's Route 70 (which connects to VM Rail at Glendale & 19th), while Truist has multiple busses from CobbLinc including Routes 10, Rapid 10, 15, and the Blue and Green Line loop services, with 10 and Rapid 10 coming from Arts Center Station, and the others connect to MARTA's Route 12 at Cumberland Transit Center which comes from Midtown Station. The only possible downside is if most of these services run very infrequently or (more importantly) don't even run on a consistent basis (like all of Cherriots Local Routes in Salem OR do), so you can't even be guaranteed a bus that'll take you there, so unless that's the case, i'd say Truist Park is underrated being only ahead of somewhere which literally has NOTHING, as opposed to "might as well have nothing because existing service is so bad".
