After the game, northbound trains 443 and 445 and southbound trains 440 and 442 will stop at the stadium station. Fans are urged to check the train schedule and plan their trip accordingly.

All Sunday trains serve the Palo Alto station, which is located one-half mile north of the stadium station, for fans that miss the trains serving the stadium station.
