When the retractable roof at Safeco Field is opened, it literally slides out over the tracks. So in a way, trains pass through the stadium!
The Stadium in San Antonio is The Alamo Dome ! It used to be the Home of the SA Spurs, NFL Exhibition er Pre-Season Games are Played there. , the Dallas Cowboys Work out there in August and the Alamo Bowl and Armed Forces All Star Game plus High School Palyoffs are held there Annually! Also Music Shows, Large Conventions, Moto-Cross etc etc. are held here! Some people want it renamed the Henry Cisneros Dome since he was the first hispanic SA Mayor and Spearheaded getting it built but the Clinton Scandals helped do him in Politically so eventually it will probably have some Cool name like e-trade Dome or Chase Dome!
The Browns Stadium (football) is adjacent to the Amtrak station, but according to Google Maps it's a 4 mile walk!
One of our Members lives there and is a Big Cornhusker fan, he rides Overnight LD to Games in the Big 10 to follow the Huskers!
Following the Cornhuskers via Amtrak! Lincoln to College Park, MD would be a fun trip once the Terrapins make the move to the Big 10!One of our Members lives there and is a Big Cornhusker fan, he rides Overnight LD to Games in the Big 10 to follow the Huskers!
Ive only seen Lincoln in Daylight Once when #6 was 12 Hours Down due to hitting Cattle in Western Nebraska, doesn't seem to be much there except the U!!!!
I believe that legally the venue complex is officially still the "Oakland Alameda-County Coliseum" even though the facilities have taken sponsor names.
Yes, there is a stadium just south or RR west of the Bridgeport Station. It's probably still a good 5 or 6 block walk from that station however.
It technically has three facilities there - the O.co Coliseum, Oracle Arena, and the Oakland Coliseum Exhibit Hall.
Google Maps says it's 2.0 miles from Union Station to the stadium walking along the shortest possible route, 2.2 miles along what I would consider the easiest route (Cesar Chavez/Sunset to Elysian Park into the stadium). Meanwhile, Google Maps says it's 1.3 miles from Santa Fe Depot in San Diego to Petco Park -- but I can tell you from experience that it doesn't feel that long; that walking route in San Diego "seems" much more walkable than the equivalent in L.A.
Very close. Like, I look at my watch and see it's 1:55 PM as I stand in front of HP Pavilion, and I'm able to catch the 2:05 PM Capitol Corridor departure to Sacramento without running or breaking a sweat by simply walking across the street.
I've actually taken Caltrain to a Sharks game, so it's a really short walk. However, there's a decently sized parking area between the station proper and the street, so it's not exactly across the street. Google Maps says it's about 0.2 miles from the entrance of the station building to the SW entrance of the arena. I think it's pretty darn close. The train tracks run right next to the arena parking lot.
