I am potentially planning a trip to Bloomington/Normal in November to watch my Northern Iowa Panthers play the Illinois State Redbirds in football. I can easily catch the train here in St Louis for the trip up to Bloomington. However, I know nothing about the area, and am hoping that someone here is familiar enough with the station and the area to help me out. I believe that there's at least a member or two from the area. There are a couple of things that I am trying to find out:
1. How far is the Illinois State campus/football stadium from the Amtrak station; is it walkable?
2. What about car rental facilities; this would be on a Saturday.
3. Public transportation and/or taxi availability?
Granted, its only a few hours, and we could probably drive up, but why drive when the train is an available alternative? Any information any has would be greatly appreciated; thanks in advance!!
