My guess is mass transit to the game in SF will be about the same. Ever seen sardines in a can? It gets ugly fast when somebodies daughter, wife, or mother gets slammed up against the train doors entering or exiting when the crowded masses start pushing & shoving (especially after the game), and believe me, they always do.
Tell you what, never been to a game in The Stick (seen my Niners in Seattle), but I've taken the train to Trailblazer games on many occasions. Not sure that the size of the city even matters, but an NBA game here has ~20,000 people. An NFL game has 60,000 people.
And the train is a really fucking lame experience, hopping on outside the arena. And we're known for being nice here. I'm guessing the addition of Bay Aryans doesn't make it more pleasant.
While I prefer public transit to driving (don't pay for parking, and I can get liquored), the ride sucks balls. I can deal with the bus and train the rest of the time (except around 4-6 PM).
But hey -- at leat SF to Santa Clara is a short trip, so they got that going for them.
