Rail

MARC is a convenient way to get to Baltimore from Washington DC and areas in between. The Penn Line goes between Washington DC's Union Station and Baltimore's Penn Station. A ticket is $7.

Note: The Camden Line goes between Washington DC's Union Station and Camden Yards, very close to the venue. However, the Camden Line does not provide weekend service.
