Are any Pony Fans taking the train to the game? (Info)

Here is a link to some good info on the train schedules as well as the shuttle: http://www.gomeangreen.com/forums/topic ... -with-map/

I live in NW Dallas and catch the Green Line at Royal and Denton Dr., take it to the Trinity Mills station and catch the DCTA train which takes you directly into the Denton Square. There are a lot of cool bars and restaurants within walking distance. You can catch a shuttle from the square to the pedestrian bridge leading to Apogee stadium.

If you have any questions let me know but let me just say this is a great way to get to the game, and not have to worry about driving and parking. I hope some of you will give this a shot. I think you will be pleased with how well it works. The square in Denton is really fun and I would suggest you check out Oak Street and Eastside while you are there.

Thanks, but I will bet my bottom dollar our fans will save some cash for november and just do brunch in uptown instead. And I've never heard of any SMU fans ever taking the DART or any train before (joke)

Not true at all. I rode DART to the AAC last year with a lot of SMU students to the SMU/TCU bball game.

meangreenfan, thank for info. I promise, we are not all [deleted].

I take the bus every day into work.

Yes, thank you. Not likely too many train-goers, but good to know.

That said, they have a vested interest to get fans into the stadium. Not exactly a purely altruistic move.

Thinking about flying my private plane from Love Field to the closest airport in Denton. Is this a good strategy?

You'll want to take your helicopter instead.

I ride DART weekly.

Are people really going to Denton?

One humiliating loss in Denton is enough for my life.

I mean, our airport is right across the highway.

Which is why I inserted (joke) after that statement.

Seriously though- what is the closest helipad to Apogee?
