Nationals Park is CRAZY underrated
Gotta make content incorrect or controversial to get everyone to comment how bad or incorrect something is. Such an annoying thing with all ranking lists these days.
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 😁
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.
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.
Yeah I've never seen this channel before and I'm never going to see it again because he is asinine for not putting Nationals Park in the top tier
@@Pat4ever.You do realise that this is a ranking and not a tier list? the Nationals' stadium with its single rail connection isn't better than the 11 other stadiums above it in this ranking, which all have several rail connections.
@@Gfynbcyiokbg8710 it doesn't have a single rail connection it's literally linked to Amtrak and other commuter lines. The Airport is connected to the metro. It's right on the water so you can even take a water ferry/boat there if you really wanted to. It's probably one of the well connected stadiums in the US.
@@Pat4ever. The Stadium ONLY HAS ONE nearby STATION serving ONLY ONE RAIL LINE. If there are problems on the green line, you're f***ed
@@Pat4ever. The metro may take you to a lot of places but that doesn't change the fact that the Nationals' stadium has ONLY ONE RAIL CONNECTION. If the Green line has problems everyone's screwed.
As a Bostonian, I have to agree with the Nats fans: ya shafted DC.
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.
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.
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.
Nats Park also has great bike access.
@@mattbalfe2983 Yup love the dedicated bike valet! Also multiple CaBi Stations (though they need more docks as they get filled fast!).
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.
As a Sox fan I hate to admit it but I can agree with Yankee Stadium at #1. There’s a special Metro-North train on Yankees game days that will take you from New Haven, CT directly to the stadium without any transfers. That’s impressive considering it’s over 2 hours away.
I live up in the Hudson Valley and I can attest to this. Taking the train from Poughkeepsie to and from Yankee Stadium is amazing
Citi Field’s land use will be different real soon. You didn’t mention it but NYCFC are building their new stadium there, and several other projects are going down as well.
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
By transit not land use*
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
@@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.
@@climateandtransit you literally used land use as an example for putting it in a lower tier. you are insane
@@hannahemartin1 Not to mention that almost every station the touches the beltway has a sign that says "To National's Park Via Metro"
WOOOOOOO Baseball season! The history of Baseball is the history of Urban Planning!
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.
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.
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
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!
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.
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...
Kenmore s way closer
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.
@@williamerazo3921Kenmore is closer (as is Lansdowne on the CR) but coming from the west, it’s more direct to get off at Fenway
Nats Park below Camden Yards?! Come on man.
The Blue Jays also have a skywalk from Union station that leads directly to the ballpark/CN tower area!
Target Field opened BEFORE the Metrodome roof collapsed.
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.
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.
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).
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.
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.
I mean, Angel Stadium has a Metrolink station while Dodgers only have busses AND is up a hill, so, you know, maybe swap those two.
well, they did move that station off stadium property, but yeah, Angel Stadium is far easier to get to by transit than Dodger Stadium.
They is a gondola system in the planning stages to get to Dodger Stadium from Union Station, if the NIMBYs don't kill it.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Except every other stadium above it has SEVERAL rail connections. If there's an issue on the green line, everyone is screwed
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.
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
Nats Park at #12 has got to be trolling, right?
One thing about Camden: while there is a Marc right outside, it only runs on weekdays and during commuting hours. It really only works for an afternoon weekday game. You can get to Penn via the light rail, but it’s not great.
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.
But on game day don't they run special Harlem and New Haven line trains to the Yankee Stadium station?
It looks like I'm the only one in this comment section to notice the asterisk placed next to the Houston Astros. Nice little touch and I'm sure it will make your Dodgers fans viewers happy
😅 Good catch at 4:40 .
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.
You ranked Cincinnati too high. The streetcar only serves downtown. The rest of us are limited to buses to a downtown hub which is not at the stadium and gets sketchy after five. So we drive.
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.
I regularly bike to Coors Field and I have family living a bit further away that love the light rail!
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.
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.
Citi Field should be higher because it would literally be stupid to try to go there by car due to the traffic and parking costs. Always take the 7 train.
My only complaint is allowing the Yankees to have ANYTHING nice.
I've gone to Yankee games on the B D and 4 subway trains, MNR shuttle from Grand Central and Hudson Line from all the way in Poughkeepsie, Bx6 SBS rapid bus service, and even CitiBike. The only thing it's missing is a connection to the NYC Ferry network.
Funny thing is, I took public transit to Kauffman Stadium the one time I went there. There's no rail but there is a bus line about a 10 minute walk from the stadium that I used to get back downtown.
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.
I seriously don’t know why Oracle isn’t at least #2. Métro light rail. Caltrain commuter, Ferry, multiple bus lines, easy transfer to BART. Incredible land use around the park.
comiskey should absolutely be higher, you can’t have stadiums like mets, camden yards, and target field ranked higher when they have less access, its accessed by the 39,35,29, and 24 buses also by the redline for north and south siders, greenline for the west and southsiders, and rock island metra for south and southwest suburbs(soon to be southwest service line too in 2025) i understand it’s in a concrete jungle but it is absolutely easily accessible without a car, i think it should be closer to the top 5
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.
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.
@@giacobbeperales5926I was referring to Sox-35th red line station specifically hence me saying that and not Bridgeport. Sox-35th was listed among the top 10 stations with most crimes reported…and that was pre pandemic. CTA service and safety has gone downhill post pandemic I’ll be curious to see where the station ranks now.
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.
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!
For the Yankee home opener, I first took the LIRR to the brand new Grand Central Madison Station. Then I took Metro North 2 stops to Yankee Stadium. It was so much better than sitting in traffic!
Not sure if you ever plan to, but as a hockey fan, would be interested in seeing Transit to every NHL Stadium. Great video!
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.
Off topic, but I heard it's a nightmare to get to Naussau Coliseum with LIRR.
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.
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. :/
I take the Metrolink from Fairview Heights. It's convenient!
I live near Arlington, Texas. I mostly attend Stars & Mavericks games because I can take the light rail to the arena they both play at. The reason I don't go to more Rangers & Cowboys games is because it's impossible to access their stadiums without a car. Moreover, parking during gamedays is expensive and abysmal.
Right the only thing you could do is take the TRE to Centreport and then get a rideshare for the shortened remaining distance to save money. However, you can't do that on a Sunday! I still don't get why they don't have Sunday service at all.
I'm shocked than there isn't better public transportation to get to Cowboys or Rangers game. Traffic must be a nightmare.
Great video! As a baseball fan and transit nerd this is really cool to see. As someone who only takes the light rail to Diamondbacks games, I think it's ranked a bit low. There's two stops that service the station (one for people coming from North Phoenix and Midtown; and another for people coming from Mesa and Tempe), one drops you off right outside the stadium, the other is likea 5 mintue walk.
PNC park has subway service from the T, every bus line that comes and goes from that side of the city literally have stops a block away from the park on 7th street.They shut the bridge 6th street, down for walking to the stadium and you can take the gateway clipper when they're running a boat. Plus, if you've seen a photo from 2001 to today, the whole area has been built up and continues to grow.
As a Blue Jay🐦myself, getting to DC’s stadium is easy! I just wing it😂
Willets Point, the area citi field is in, is being entirely revitalized. Literally the largest public housing project in any borough in the last 40 years, as well as NYCFC getting a soccer specific stadium there as well. over 100,000 square feet for public spaces and open spaces, etc. Think that’s a pretty glaring thing to omit tbh. You also shafted the Nats pretty hard
For first time visitors to Yankee stadium coming from manhattan do yourself a favor and take Metro North to the station. You'll get a nice treat on the way from the station and see the old Yankee stadium field. And you can see real games being played on it and even walk on it yourself.
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"
You should also do NBA, NHL and MLS
Right now, MARTA needs an BRT Bus Route 12 go to and from Truist Park. Bus Route 12-Midtown-Truist Park via Howell Mill Road
Oakland Coliseum has its own Bart (light rail) station and you just walk a short walkway into the stadium....hard to imagine more accessible than that. But it doesn't matter after this season lol
Sad A's fan here, having the coliseum lower than Oracle was shocking lol
@@christopherbooth6238 I live in SF and it's way easier to get to and from the Coli than pac bell. I get that there are more options to Pac Bell, but none of them come without a long walk (MUNI doesn't have a long walk, but does have lang wait times to get to the stop). Having Pac Bell over the Coli is ok, but at No 4 is a little too much separation.
Add mine to the many on the mark comments about Nationals Park. C'mon, man, the Green Line Station is practically in center field!!
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?
I think maybe Wrigley was too low. It has the brown line nearby as well, and I usually take the brown line to belmont or southport for games because its less packed and only a 10ish minute walk away. Also the UP-N commuter rail is adjacent to the park and a transfer to the brown line minimizes walking. But I could just be biased!
Tropicana now has a baseball shuttle that takes you from downtown st Pete to the stadium. If they had more fans it would be basically useless as 2 cars of a 20 person max would be destroyed by a decent crowd
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.)
One of my bucket lists is to visit all the MLB parks so ty for this! Happy to see my Yanks number 1 as they should be. So easy to get to even from neighboring states shoutout the Northeastern Corridor!!
I was at a Yankees game almost 2 years ago & can confirm their transit was very good
Brewers might not have transit but there are dozens of bars that offer free shuttle to and from games.
Stadiums are great but they shouldn’t need to have such massive amounts of surface parking if a transit station is nearby. There’s a lot of potential for infill development around many American and Canadian stadiums.
This happens in Europe too; for example the stadiums in Lyon have a lot of parking. Honestly it is incomprehensible why anyone would drive when they could take the train. Especially considering that football games create the most traffic of anything and you can also park for free at a lot of stations.
@@yaush_ All park and rides are free for our trains here in Arizona. Parking can run upwards of $100....and idiots still choose to do it, and sit in traffic for 3 hours after the game, meanwhile I am already on a train headed back and already home by the time they get to finally leave the downtown area at all.
Bad take. Some people live in dangerous neighborhoods and don’t want to take the train home at 10pm after a game. There are PLENTY of reasons to prefer driving
@@tw7321 Great, then in that case build a small lot or a small garage for them. Not surround the place with a moat of empty parking.
@@CityLifeinAmerica The parking areas are clearly needed since the lots are filled each game.
What’s your issue with big parking lots?
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.
I think realistically in theory the AL East Triumvirate at the top of this list should be a dead heat. All three of Toronto, Boston, and The Bronx have extremely connected service.
cities feild is great for transit I went to ny over the summer was super easy to get there
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.
Just an fyi t mobile park won’t be accessible by the 2 line in a few weeks. The i90 portion won’t open until late 2025 sadly
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.
St Louis has a stop 1 block from the stadium for their light rail
don’t expect to catch a stray from a random transit video, the astros own your fav team btw (unless it’s the royals)
I think MLB stadiums generally have better urbanism than NFL stadiums because Truist Park and Angel Stadium in the bottom 5 would be in the middle of the NFL list if they were football stadiums, and T-Mobile Park of the Seattle Mariners ranked #7 while its NFL neighbour Lumen Field ranked #1.
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
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.
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.
Just opened this and I'm eagerly awaiting the Brewers to get dragged. To be fair though, the bars in Milwaukee have filled the void. Will say though the hank aaron trail gets you there easily by bike
Missed on Cincinnati bro, streetcar, metro, shuttle, tank bus and a dedicated pedestrian only bridge and pedestrian only open container Dora district
Baseball is an awesome game! Gaurenteed Rate Field is one of my favorite Ballpark!
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.
When you said mutiple bus lines it’s actually only served by the Q48, soon the Q50
My favorite thing about Oakland is taking BART. Its so convenient. Also same for Oracle Park
Another banger video 👍🏻🔥
I'd love to see that non-transit ballpark ranking and why you think Citi and Yankee are bad!
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.
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.
Love that the top 5 included 4 AL East teams, including my Blue Jays 🙌
so excited for the nba video next 😄
.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.
The AL East (except for TB) is just top notch.
Strongly disagree on Guaranteed Rate Field’s placing. Yes, the stadium does have an unfortunate amount of parking around it but it’s still got insanely good transit. The Red & Green Line heavy rail, Metra Rock Island commuter rail and multiple bus lines all serve it in easy walking distance. But the most important factor beyond that is the scale of the areas these lines serve. The Red and Green Lines can get you across nearly the entire length Chicago. North, south and west sides. And the RI journeys over 40 miles south to Joliet. And for what it’s worth, a single transfer from the Red/Green Lines downtown onto other commuter rail lines can get you all the way to Kenosha, WI and South Bend, IN.
I love Target Field and Petco Park. And they’ve got solid transit there for sure. But the sheer scale of what’s accessible from those stadiums is minuscule compared to what you can get to from GRF. Everything I just said also applies to Nationals Park too.
Both of my favorite teams also just happen to be number 1 on both list 😅

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".
Referring to the "Silver BRT Line" in Minneapolis doesn't make this video look particularly well-researched. It's served by the C and D line BRT routes about 4 blocks away, which are colored silver on the map. But they aren't the "Silver Line". ALL of Metro Transit's aBRT (their term for BRT-lite, essentially) routes are colored silver. But they've never been referred to in ANY sense as the "Silver Line".
It kinda just seems like you spent a few seconds looking at a map and then made a decision about it without looking into anything more at all.
The bus on the footage you picked when saying it LITERALLY SAYS "C LINE" ON IT! Like, c'mon.
oracle park has great transit i think it should be in the number 2 because not only it is connected to a light rail line as well as a regional transit system but its connected to the market street subway with the rest of the Muni metro lines except the T as it stops in Chinatown but you have access to bart and dozens of bus lines through out the city
"It's a solid service" and the MBTA, name a less iconic duo.
