UC San Diego Blue Line and Green Line Trolley takes you directly to the doorstep of Petco Park
San Diego – Chris Stapleton's All-American Road Show is bringing country music to downtown San Diego this weekend! On March 2, more than 40,000 fans will make their way to Petco Park to enjoy the music stylings of the Grammy-winning country music artist and seven-time winner of Country Music Association's Male Vocalist of the Year.
The Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) will be increasing Trolley service to accommodate the large crowds. With the show set to kick off at 5 p.m., concertgoers are encouraged to let their “Worry B Gone” and avoid traffic and high parking costs by taking the UC San Diego Blue Line and Green Line Trolley to 12th & Imperial Transit Center. Taking the Trolley is the best way to beat the crowd and enjoy Chris Stapleton and special guests Elle King and the Turnpike Troubadours on Saturday night.
