What a difference 400 or so miles makes!
In the Bay Area, the majority of sports fans ride the rails (Amtrak, Cal Train, BART, and/or MUNI) to sporting events. These carriers even offer extra service to these venues.
Not so in Southern California. Edison Field even "sports" an Amtrak/Metrolink station ON its property. Granted, the Metrolink Orange County line does not operate on weekends.
Metrolink does run special trains to other events -- the Rose Parade, the Los Angeles County Fair, the California Motor Speedway -- but not to the others because there is no demand.
