I plan on being in new york city next week. I want to go to Philadelphia and catch a phillies game.?

Question

what is the best way to get there and back on the same night?

Answer 1

take the nj transit train at penn station to trenton and the R7 septa regional rail line to suburban station in Philadelphia.  From there you take the southbound subway to pattison avenue and the stadium is upstairs.  The stadium is huge you can't miss it.  It's the cheapest and the trains run throughout the day.  You can get schedules from Septa and new jersey.

going home you take the same trains going in the opposite direction.  Make sure you get round trip tickets it's cheaper and less stress and less wait in line.

Answer 2

Bear in mind it will take you approximately 3 hours each way.  If its a night game, NJT and Amtrak start to run very limited schedules, so make sure there is one that meets your needs to get you back.

Answer 3

Grab a metroliner at Penn Station and return the same way
