That’s a phenomenal idea, and one that many other cities have used to make their venues usable for big events.
We used to ride the MAX train into events in Portland. Trying to drive to a huge stadium and park is just a huge mess for everyone involved, including the surrounding city that’s impacted by it.
TriMet would run extra trains at the start & end of the event. Back then the stadium was also in the Fareless Square area so you didn’t even have to pay. Yes, the trains were packed, but that’s a good thing. Over time they would run more and more trains, and now the area has trams as well. Downtown event arenas are 100% doable with modern public transit.
