That’s how I go. Make the short drive to Plano and take the train to mockingbird! Makes it so easy!

Taking the train from Carrollton.

If you're on the Red, Orange, or Blue lines have at it, great way to get there... Especially quick if you're on the eastern side of the Dart map. 

If you're unlucky enough to be on the Green line because you're transferring from the DCTA A-Train, make sure you change to the Red/Orange line at Victory... I'd say its the least frequented by those who look to cause trouble.  Whatever you do, don't transfer trains at West End. If you miss Victory, I'd personally wait till St Paul to transfer, its the deadest of the CBD stations on the weekends.

And don't miss that last DCTA train from Trinity Mills at 10:45p. Short verison: The DCTA A-Train runs an almost useless Saturday schedule. Its a wonder anyone rides the thing at all.

I rode the Dart and TRE about 10 years ago when commuting from downtown to Centreport.  I still can recount some rather interesting stories from that time.  I now save my single Dart ride for when I go from Plano to the State Fair once a year.

I was thinking about doing this. Do you park at the station? Does it cost to park?

yes i drive to parker road station on the DART red line and take it down to mockingbird station. there is a lot of parking at parker road station

You can also park at mockingbird station under trinity hall where the pre party is taking place. Plenty of parking inside the station despite Saturday traffic.

The Red line doesn't go to Victory Station, it goes into South Dallas after West End station.  Only Green and Orange stop @ Victory.  To transfer from Green (inbound) do so at any of the 4 downtown stops (West End through Pearl).  Be careful at St Paul also, the 7-11 there attracts lots of panhandlers begging folks coming out of the store.  I usually transfer to or from Green at Pearl.

Anyone taken the train from Fort Worth to the game? Is it numerous transfers?

It’ll get you to Victory station but from there you might have to thumb it?  Or Uber/Lyft?

TRE to Union Station. Red line from Union to Mockingbird.

I'm definitely taking the A-Train in the morning and possibly an Uber back home.

How about UNT's GRAMMY-nominated Rich DeRosa and his take on the tune?

On both the Perseverance compilation and Lab 2013 available here for purchase.

I thought the most familiar version would work better for a joke. The 1 O'clock band can take it a bit long and a bit too abstract before they get to the most familiar part of the tune. Most people don't have the patience to "wait for it".

BTW good job of taking the opportunity to promote the program.
