In the morning headlines today, we linked to an L.A. Times article bemoaning the bad traffic at Dodger Stadium. With that in mind, here’s a look at four ballparks in the U.S. that are easy to reach via regional transit systems.

  1. I love how Safeway Park in Seattle has the commuter rail option adjacent. I can’t wait to catch the Red-to-Expo/Blue-Pico Station trains to watch (wait for it, wait for it…) A PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL TEAM at the new Farmer’s Field. The station may need some upgrades to handle the traffic (?) but I can’t wait, yo.

  4. The CTA’s elevated lines (and their subway lines, for that matter) are not called the “El,” but rather the “L.”

    Incidentally, Fenway Park is served by the Boston “T” Green Line (all branches) at the Kenmore and Fenway Stations. Despite the name, Kenmore is actually closer.
