Oregon Station is a 15 minute walk from our house and is a stop on the Broad Street Line. I would recommend this on a game day if you know it is going to be extremely crowded or difficult to park. Broad Street Line will still be crowded- but bustling with all of the people doing the same thing as you! Feel free to also uber, etc. Just adding another option.
