<p>I live within 20 miles of both the Oakland Coliseum and ATT Park and have easily taken BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) to both stadiums. There is a BART stop at SFO and a shuttle between Coliseum BART and Oakland Airport. The hotels suggested that are w/i 5 miles of the Coliseum aren't where I would stay if I were spending a weekend without a car. </p>

<p>Last year I visited Chicago, Seattle, and San Diego. In San Deigo I stayed at the hotel that is connected to PetCo. The shuttle ride from the airport was about $10. There are plenty of other hotel options within walking distance of the park. With the exception of the ride to and from the airport, I walked or took public transit everywhere. A quick google search says you can take public transit from the airport. But, that includes a 15 minute walk which I wouldn't be inclined to do with luggage.</p>
<p>In Chicago and Seattle, I took public transit to Wrigley, US Cellular, and Safeco. I also took public transit to/from SeaTac and MDW</p>

Hi!<br />
<br />
We've been able to take some form of public transportation in NYC, baltimor, Philly, Oakland/San Fran, Chicago, Boston and DC.<br />
<br />
For Coors and Target fields we didn't take public transportation, but stayed in walking distance of the stadiums. But I've used Denver's transit system in the past, and it's decent.<br />
<br />
For LA/anaheim, Milwaukee and Pittsburgh we rented cars, they didn't really seem like a pedestrian friendly cities.

<p>I went to the Bay Area on Memorial Day weekend a few years ago. I went to a game in Seattle on Saturday and arrived in San Francisco on Sunday. I took the BART to my hotel and walked to the game. On Memorial Day I took the BART to Oakland. You can take public transit to go from Wrigley to US Cellular. </p>

<p>Thanks, David! I've been to Fenway, Yankee Stadium, Citi Field, Citizens Bank Park, and Washington Park already (all via public transit), so I'm VERY interested in your other suggestions of Seattle, San Fran/Oakland, San Diego, Chicago, Baltimore, Denver, Phoenix, and Minneapolis.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Did you take public transit between any of these stadiums as part of a multi-park trip?</p>

<p>I relied heavily on public transit when I could. Seattle, San Francisco, Oakland, San Diego, Chicago, Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, Boston, Denver, Phoenix, Minneapolis have easy public transit between the airport and ballpark.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Tampa, Atlanta, Kansas City, Milwaukee, and Pittsburgh aren't so easy. I was actually in Miami on Labor Day and their public transit was on a holiday schedule and ran less often. </p>

<p>Thanks for the advice, Steven! That could be one of the two trips. </p>
<p>I'm also thinking about Indians/Pirates over Memorial Day weekend or Cubs/ChiSox/Brewers over Labor Day weekend, but not sure if either of those are doable without a car.</p>
