Pro Sports and Public Transportation
Do you bus to baseball? Subway to soccer? Fly to football? Train to tennis? Actually, does anybody watch tennis at all?
I'm going to the Nationals-Marlins game tonight, which is a big deal for me because I'm going with friends that aren't imaginary. I'm quite excited, and the ride is going to be a piece of cake — straight shot down the green line on the Metro; less than 45 minutes from boarding I'll be watching some mediocre NL East action.
But how do people get to the other pro sports in the area? Do you take the MARC train to Baltimore? Drive to Landover? Are there buses I don't know about? Also, I took the MARC train once and it was great (and very cheap), but the commuter hours mean if you want to go anywhere between 8 a.m. and around 4 p.m. you're stuck, because it isn't running to CP.
Also, if you're interested — the green line has a MASSIVE Wikipedia entry, well over 10,000 words and with 159 footnotes. I don't know why.
