Taking the Bus to CU Football

You can take what is essentially the northern part of the BroncosRide to see CU play CSU this Saturday at Mile High Stadium.

CU has its first home game the week after on Saturday, September 8 at 2pm. RTD will provide special buses, mostly from the northern metro area, but also from the Federal Center, Southmoor, Wadsworth & Hampden, and Nine Mile. Buses start two and a hours before the game, and leave as soon as the game ends. More information is available on the BuffRide website.

You can take the train to the Super Bowl (sort of)

Arlington, Texas is the largest city in the country that does not have a transit system, but that does not mean that you have to rent a car if you go to the Super Bowl. You can take the TRE (commuter rail) from either Dallas (Texas Eagle) or Fort Worth (Heartland Flyer, Texas Eagle) Amtrak Stations to CentrePort/DFW Airport Station. There will be multiple buses from that station. (If you must fly, there are multiple shuttles between the airport and the TRE station.) Just a bus ticket to and from CentrePort Station costs $20, but a four day transit pass costs $30. This gives you unlimited rides on Dallas buses and light rail, all TRE trains, the Molly Circulator, and "services from the T and DCTA" which I think are the special Super Bowl shuttles.

TRE is running extra trains  the day before the Super Bowl and the day of the Super Bowl. TRE will run on an ordinary weekday schedule, but will add extra cars.
