Amtrak options


Jan 1, 2019, 12:54 PM

Just something to think about for those still planning your trip. Amtrak has a station right outside Levi's Stadium. You could stay in Oakland or even Sacramento and train to the station and back on game-day for cheap.

Amtrak doesn't run late enough

Light Rail and Cal Train are your only real public transportation options. Light Rail is right at the stadium and connects to Cal Train in Mountain View.

Last ACE train for the Capitol Corridor leaves around 7:30pm.

I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggone it, people like me.

Yeah, I'm seeing an Amtrak that leaves Levi's Stadium at 9:20 PM. That's 3 hours and 20 minutes after kick-off. Could be cutting it close..

Think you're looking at the wrong schedule

I think you're looking at the weekend/holiday schedule and not the weekday schedule. Last train 548 leaves Great America at 7:28pm.

Well, my math isn't very good, Since 9:20 would be 4 hours and 20 minutes after kick off... What I'm seeing says the last train to the Sacramento area leaves at 9:20 PM (see below). (Also seeing a train towards San Jose direction leaves 8:37 PM). Don't Amtrak much, so I may be reading this wrong.

The schedule they link to looks out of date. If you attempt to buy a ticket on the 548 train it shows up as 9:20pm. In the linked schedule it shows that it picks up at 7:28pm. Looks like ACE could be an option.



If you're headed south towards San Jose, you're better off taking Light Rail than Amtrak.
