well, i've taken metra out to arlington racecourse a handful of times. it's pretty damn convenient and also means that i don't have to count my beers for the trip home.

but yeah, an NFL gameday would represent a lot more people.

i don't know if metra has the capability to MASSIVLELY ramp up its schedule on one line for 8 sundays/year to move untold thousands of people just before, and then just after, a game.
