Has anyone ever taken the caltrain to the oracle arena in oakland, ca?

Question

Im going to an event there and i was wondering how far the cal train drops you off from the arena. is it decent walking distance? im going to have a 4 year old child with me and it will be in the evening so i wanted to know if the station is really far walking distance from the arena. Has anyone ever done it?

Answer 2

Ouch Jessica !! Since a) CalTrain runs on the OTHER side of the bay, and b) CalTrain's northern most stop is in San Francisco !!  You can walk a few blocks and catch BART...

I've never walked from BART to the Oakland Coliseum... I'm a Giants fan !!
