CityNerd | Top Ten Transit to NFL Stadium Connections - the Best Access, Frequency, and Overall Usefulness! @CityNerd | Uploaded September 2021 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
People from the U.S. don't agree on a lot, but one thing that reliably brings them together in the local NFL team. This week we look at which professional American football stadiums have the best transit connections, why having plentiful transit near a stadium might be a good idea, and whether 50,000+ capacity stadiums should even be located in transit-rich environments in the first place.

We count down the ten best NFL stadium-rail connections, with some surprises along the way. Did you have the New York Giants or Jets on your list? Not so fast! The Chargers or the Rams? Surely you jest! We tour every corner of the US in this video, looking at how SEPTA, CTA, MBTA, RTD, and a variety of other transit agency acronyms help gridiron fans get to and from games while someone else does the driving.
