Public buses can take you the rest of the way if need be. If you are staying down in the area everything worth-while is within walking distance. You simply ride the train into ‘Tower City Square Station,’ which is right down town. Much like Chicago, they have a light rail station right at Hopkins Airport. The Other way goes to the ‘Mall of America.’ This is a superb way to get around, even if you have to drive into Minnesota from another city, park anywhere along the way and take this transportation in.ĬLE- Cleveland has an underrated transportation system. One way goes downtown towards Target Field. There is a platform right in the MSP Airport. I am calling this my favorite subway system. MIN- Minnesota is another ball city where the Light Rail Transportation rocks.
Plus if you drive in this city, make sure you carry about $10 worth of change for all of the tolls you encounter (from 80 cents to $4.00). Traffic is insanely bad on Highway 90/94 or 55. Chicago Union station is perfectly situated between the two parks for people arriving by Amtrak or Greyhound. The Blue Line Train takes you all the way downtown from O’Hare Airport. The Red Line Train takes you to either Us Cellular Field or Wrigley Field. Cruising around by car is not bad in the Big ‘D.’ The Metro Airport is a far distance from the park which makes it smarter to rent a car anyway.ĬWS- Perhaps the best public transportation lies within the city of Chicago. The park, while fantastic, is not in the greatest area of town once you venture away from the park. If you are staying at a hotel near the Airport, why not just take light rail back to the Airport and then catch your given hotel’s shuttle car? This way you receive great service to the hotel and don’t have to walk as much.ĭET- I would not advise on taking public transport in Detroit. The light rail station takes you right near Camden Yards. Last time I went it was a $28 round-trip.īAL- Awesome to use light rail service in this town-this is the way to go. One option I used before is the Downtown Shuttle from the airport, that takes you down to the York Hotel, which is a few blocks from the Rogers Centre. If you are staying in downtown Toronto, you really don’t need a car. If you come in via Greyhound or Amtrak, you are already in walking distance in Toronto’s down town core. TOR- I would not advise on public transit from Lester B Pearson Airport. The staff at the station will even store your luggage for a nominal fee. The only viable option is if you are coming from Miami on Greyhound. Petersburg, you really should rent a car. Keep in mind that traffic is abysmal outside of Fenway after games. There are some cheap parking alternatives on Common Wealth Ave near Fenway. I have honestly never taken this service but others swear by it. It is a quick commute.īOS- They have the T-Train to commute with in the city. There is an Amtrak Station at EWR that has very cheap fares into New York Penn Station. Newark Airport is not as bad as NYC Airports, however it is much further for transportation into New York. JFK has a Subway Platform at the end of their Airports Tram Line. You can take a city bus from LGA to the subway stations for better travel. Not only does it cost a pile to rent a car, it is the time and gas spending in exhausting traffic, plus in ‘NYC’ there are many tolls along the way. NYY- Subway is a great method of travel in New York.
I will break down all 30 MLB Cities-with quick hints and suggestions. You just have to know what you are dealing with. In most cases, price and time wise, taking public transportation is effective. If you are traveling with 1-3 people, you are better off trying to find yourself on public transportation.
Some of the expertise I crafted came from deep research. I learned some valuable lessons in my 30 park trips. Well add to that problem with unfamiliarity of the area and this can be a stressful time. Douglas ‘Chuck’ Booth (Baseball Writer)-I am sure all of us know how grinding it is to make a baseball game in terms of traffic.
