PHILADELPHIA — Philadelphia sports fans have a lot to be excited about now.

The Eagles are the only undefeated team in the NFL, the Phillies are in the playoffs for the first time in more than a decade, and the Flyers are kicking off their 2022-23 season.

But getting to Citizens Bank Park, Lincoln Financial Field, or the Wells Fargo Center for the upcoming games might prove to be difficult. (After all, Philly was recently named the worst city for driving in the country.)
