Top 5 Transit-Friendly MLB Stadiums

The MLB regular season is here, and that means packed stadiums, roaring crowds, and, unfortunately, game-day traffic nightmares. But here’s the good news: cities across the U.S. are stepping up their transit game to make sure fans can focus on baseball, not bumper-to-bumper congestion.

From Boston to Phoenix, public transit is emerging as the MVP of game-day travel, with seamless rail and bus connections that get fans to their seats faster, cheaper, and with a lot less hassle.

At Keolis, we help make this happen. We partner with transit agencies to optimize game-day transportation, ensuring that thousands of fans can get to and from the stadium efficiently, sustainably, and stress-free. Whether we’re managing commuter rail in Boston or operating bus networks in Phoenix, we know that a smooth transit experience is a game-changer for cities, teams, and fans alike.

Here are our top picks for transit-friendly MLB stadiums across the country:

1. 🚊 Fenway Park (Boston, MA)

Why it’s a home run: The MBTA’s Green Line drops you right at Kenmore Square, a short walk from the stadium. Plus, Keolis-operated MBTA Commuter Rail stops at Lansdowne Station, making it easy for fans from the suburbs to skip the parking headache. In a city where street parking is as rare as a perfect game, transit is the way to go.

2. 🚋 Chase Field (Phoenix, AZ)

Why it’s a winner: The Valley Metro Rail 3rd St./Jefferson station is just steps from Chase Fields, plus Keolis operates the East Valley bus network, making game-day travel seamless. With over 30 routes covering key suburbs, fans have multiple ways to avoid traffic and get straight to the action.

Bonus: An all-day pass costs just $4—way less than stadium parking!

3. 🚇 Yankee Stadium (New York, NY)

Why it’s an all-star: Few stadiums are as transit-friendly as Yankee Stadium. The 4, B, and D subway lines all stop at 161 St-Yankee Stadium, and several bus routes, including the BX13 and BX6, provide additional options for fans. Transit options around high-traffic venues like Yankee Stadium means smoother commutes, cleaner air, and more fans in the stands on time.

4. 🏟️ Dodger Stadium (Los Angeles, CA)

Why it’s a game-saver: LA traffic is legendary for all the wrong reasons, but the Dodger Stadium Express is changing that. This free shuttle from Union Station (plus additional Metro bus connections) means fans can skip the gridlock and get straight to first pitch, running every 10 minutes starting 90 minutes before the first pitch. Additional Metro bus routes from Slauson and Harbor Freeway stations provide further connectivity, demonstrating how targeted transit investments can significantly improve event-day operations in high-traffic urban environments.

5. 🚦 Wrigley Field (Chicago, IL)

Why it’s a slam dunk—er, grand slam: The CTA Red Line stops right at Addison, just a short walk from Wrigley Field. Multiple bus routes, including the #8 Halsted and #22 Clark, add even more convenience, and suburban fans can take advantage of Park & Ride locations to make the journey even smoother. Wrigley’s multimodal transit access is a model for urban stadiums everywhere.

Investing in transit around major venues isn’t just about convenience—it’s about smarter community mobility. Well-planned game-day transit reduces congestion, lowers emissions, and makes cities more livable. Plus, it’s a win-win for transit agencies looking to boost ridership and demonstrate the value of public transportation.
