Rodger Sherman @rodger.bsky.social · 05/05/2026Really we all should root for a Knicks-Sixers playoff series every year because it’s one of the few matchups where the teams commute back and forth via chartered Amtrak trains instead of chartered flights. Tons of C02 emissions saved (Sixers boarding train pics from 2024) 1165089596
Spooky Neighborhood Spider-Menace @icanfly42.bsky.social · 05/05/2026The Hornets should be forced to take the Crescent line to New York, DC, Atlanta, and New Orleans until they can win a playoff series. They need to earn faster modes of travel 020
glenzlenz.bsky.social @glenzlenz.bsky.social · 06/05/2026I'm so torn. For decades the Knicks and Sixers have been my teams because NYC & Philly are the cities where I became a 'real grown-up' post college. Love the Amtrak quiet car. 010
Waffle House of the Dragon @greenakers.bsky.social · 05/05/2026Scrap the play-in for a 3-way tournament among the Knicks, Sixers, and Celtics in which all radio frequencies in the losing cities are usurped by the preeminent sports radio channel of the winning city for a month; winner is also the 7 seed regardless of record 000
PaSandy @pasandy.bsky.social · 06/05/2026How about if teams could only play other teams that were reachable by train? Bet we’d see an avalanche of new rail lines!! 000
BanmarNJ @banmarnj.bsky.social · 06/05/2026I want to say the Flyers do this for Rangers games and vice versa 000
Alex LastName @meownowbrowncow.bsky.social · 06/05/2026Nope. We want them both out in the first round. Philly is trash. 000
mateyk3.bsky.social @mateyk3.bsky.social · 05/05/2026They should just take a normal train. Add an extra business class car to a scheduled Acela 120
Delson @coooooooolll.bsky.social · 06/05/2026No reason that Boston and DC can’t do the same. Though I bet this has more to do with the price of jet fuel this spring. 000
boltsfan38.bsky.social @boltsfan38.bsky.social · 05/05/2026I never thought that. Now a have a new team to cheer for now that hockey is finished for the season. 000
Mackenzie @mackenzievogt.net · 05/05/2026I'm pretty sure when the Eagles play the Giants every year they just take buses up the NJ Turnpike to get to the Meadowlands 030
Tiger-Fred @tiger-fred.bsky.social · 06/05/2026That makes them each great teams! Looks like we all win!!! 000
Rev TJ Wanderslug @wanderslug.bsky.social · 05/05/2026Feels like the set up for a mid-80's sports movie where the two teams get stranded in a small town in New Jersey and are forced to play the championship game in a high school gym. 3500
mikerevolution.bsky.social @mikerevolution.bsky.social · 05/05/2026hoping I live long enough to see the Dodgers play the Padres and Giants via high speed rail 010
naglebagel.bsky.social @naglebagel.bsky.social · 06/05/2026DC and Boston both accessible via Amtrak. 000
Rodger Sherman @rodger.bsky.social · 05/05/2026Trick question: Washington DC does not have an NBA team@tedgehring.bsky.social@tedgehring.bsky.socialHow do they travel between Philadelphia and DC? 837714
MBR @flame89.bsky.social · 05/05/2026I can’t disagree. And when my Wizards get good next year, we can make it a whole Acela corridor party! 100
Flirty Flâneur @sweetbarrywyne.bsky.social · 05/05/2026When Seattle gets the Sonics back, the Blazers and Sonics will do this too! 120
Some guy @pug-dude.bsky.social · 06/05/2026Warriors-Kings is pretty good. Less interesting nationally, but at least they don’t fly. Hopefully they’ll switch to electric buses soon. 000
Borders Abound @bordersbarking.bsky.social · 05/05/2026And it’s a gorgeous station if you ever get the chance 000
Mike Gaz @mikegaz.bsky.social · 05/05/2026More teams should play their home games in train stations. 000
Luke @deadinside40.bsky.social · 06/05/2026Honestly at this point we've already lost the climate change battle. Those 2 teams not flying is a drop in the bucket... barely makes a dent in the overall damage. The oceans are heading towards collapse and the glaciers are melting... we need to focus on how that's not going to kill us all. 000
Ponder @ponder719.bsky.social · 05/05/2026Sixers and Celtics ought to do this, too. Longer than the NY trip, sure, but an Acela still takes less time than a flight from either to LA. 000
tedgehring.bsky.social @tedgehring.bsky.social · 05/05/2026How do they travel between Philadelphia and DC? 120
Flatulent Panda @flatulent-panda.bsky.social · 06/05/2026This is so cool - had no idea that they took the train. If only this was the final: Both teams are phenomenal, huge fan of both, Nova Knicks & 76, love them both, anything but Boston. 010
Shane McNichol @ontheshanetrain.bsky.social · 05/05/2026this is a sneaky small reason the Eagles have been successful this century. One division game is a train ride, another is a bus (Plus annual preseason vs. the Jets and any regular season Bal or NYJ games are also plane-free). The 2024 SB champ team did not fly after Week 12/Nov 24! 1120

seedubs @seedub.bsky.social · 05/05/2026It’s really funny to me that the knicks play in the same building as the amtrak station 010
Adam Shinder @adamshinder.bsky.social · 05/05/2026I hope the Knicks and Nets have chartered subway routes for games against each other. 100
Timothy Ciesielski @timcies.bsky.social · 05/05/2026Sixers might help the emissions equation by getting swept... 😅 000
Buster Robinsnest @brobinsnest.bsky.social · 06/05/2026Ok but the real cost and energy savings will be in the 4-game sweep that we all see coming from a trainstop away. 000
Puliz @puliz.bsky.social · 06/05/2026Don’t give ideas to Portland. They are going to use a cargo train to go on the road 000
Capt. Old Dad 🚢 @chxdlx.bsky.social · 06/05/2026If having the Knicks and the Sixers in the playoffs every year is the price I have to pay for our planet, then Earth be DAMNED! 000
Lynn Spann Bowditch @bowreader.bsky.social · 06/05/2026I had no idea that you could charter a train! 000
ElleKaye🇨🇦 (she/her | elle/la) @ellekayeca.bsky.social · 06/05/2026Bravo to these teams! 🚊 Where there’s a will, there’s a way. #ClimateCrisis #GreenTranspo 010
EmergPrepGal @emergprepgal.bsky.social · 05/05/2026Trains are great. You can get up and walk around - get yourself a snack if you want! Seats are roomier too, IMO. 020
Jonathan Eby @jonathaneby.bsky.social · 05/05/2026we need CAHSR finished so we can get Lakers, Clippers, Warriors and Kings games on trains 010
elizambie 🧟♀️ @itselizalee123.bsky.social · 05/05/2026if they (amtrak) were bold enough to build a bridge over lake erie connecting Cleveland and Detroit this could be both series!… 000
Sean Davis @designerplant.bsky.social · 05/05/2026Chartered Amtrak trains ain’t that bad. My Grandpa and my Dad were both Amtrak men so I’ve ridden a few. 010

H Mantegazzi 🚈🌳🇨🇱 @hmantegazzi.bsky.social · 05/05/2026For the 2023 Pan American games, the athletes' village was built right beside a metro station, so that the delegations could commute freely to the main venues, including the opening ceremony: www.youtube.com/watch?v=zX46...youtube.comEn Metro al Estadio Nacional: Así se vivió la Inaguración de Los Juegos Panamericanos Santiago 2023YouTube video by Panam Sports 000

Seth Rosenthal @sethrosenthal.bsky.social · 05/05/2026i agree and the winner of the eastern conference should be declared NBA champion to avoid cross-country flights 2521
theancientredhead.bsky.social @theancientredhead.bsky.social · 06/05/2026Too bad that is not possible for the Pistons and the Cavaliers. 010
Just Another GenX Heather @hezzair.bsky.social · 05/05/2026Matt Cord was saying he was in a box suite at the Garden with his wife and he was like, "okay, we can't cheer for the Sixers, bc we are in the Knicks GM's box!" 000
scruffycricket.bsky.social @scruffycricket.bsky.social · 05/05/2026We want trains & Metros like the French. 042
Bahá'í Bahá'í Miss American Pie @gkls.bsky.social · 05/05/2026Big sports fans tend to (reasonably) say I'm a downer for this but all those emissions are a big reason I have trouble getting into professional sports. I wish this was possible in more parts of the country, and that more of these leagues were regional enough that this could be done. 000
Ranryu @ranryu.bsky.social · 05/05/2026For similar reasons, the Knicks should be allowed to beat on, I mean play, the Nets in the first round every year 000
M Maureen (Goldberry) McCall @maureencon.bsky.social · 06/05/2026I don't support mukti millionaires and billionaires 000
J Cruz @jcruz-78.bsky.social · 06/05/2026I’d say that we could root for a Knicks/Celtics playoff series every year since they could charter a train too. Then again, we don’t want Jaylen Brown grabbing Josh Hart’s bozac every year 000
Zachary Shirkey @zachary-shirkey.bsky.social · 05/05/2026Insanely, there is no train from US points east the goes to Detroit. You have to get off at Toledo and take a bus. Trains from Detroit go west or into Canada. www.amtrak.com/content/dam/...amtrak.com 000
Timmy @treebarktimmy.bsky.social · 05/05/2026Cavs and Pistons should travel by boat across Lake Erie 000
Nerd On A Walk @nerdonawalk.bsky.social · 05/05/2026If saving humanity means rooting for the Knicks Well y’all we’ve had a good run. It’s been fun. See you on the other side. 020
Ghost of Lepa Radić @ghostofdonknotts.bsky.social · 05/05/2026That lef of the Amtrak trip is usually electric as well, you love to see it! 010
Tim™️ @dadsof3.bsky.social · 06/05/2026In England all the footbal matches, the players travel by bus. Majority of fans, home or away take the trains, if they're not just walking to the pitch. We could learn from them. 000
Joe R observes Bat Season @gothanfc.com · 05/05/2026i like this idea because if the train breaks down at the metropark station i can go help and become friends with the players and get invited to their social functions 0191
Carol @carolrd.bsky.social · 06/05/2026In that case, we should all root for Lakers v Clippers, right? (Ducking now) 000
LordRobin @lordrobin------rm.bsky.social · 06/05/2026Gotta be easier on the players too. I’ve never understood having a 2-2-1-1-1 format when teams can be on the opposite sides of the continent. Twice as much travel as baseball. 010
JM =^D @jm539581.bsky.social · 05/05/2026It does raise an interesting question: How many arenas have a railway (not subway) station nearby? 320
Moksha @nellymoksha.bsky.social · 05/05/2026Ah this is so cool. I always take the train to get into Philly and NY (granted I’m taking septa and PATH from NJ) but it’s cool to see they do too, idk why, just relatable I guess 000
brockfacts.bsky.social @brockfacts.bsky.social · 05/05/2026Agreed, but we could also root for actual, dependable high-speed rail connecting most major cities 🤷🏻♂️ 030
Craig Meyer @craigmeyer.bsky.social · 05/05/2026another great Philly basketball train moment: back in 2014, Temple took the subway from campus to the Sixers' arena and beat a top-10 Kansas team by 25 040
Red Blooded Rogue @redbloodedrogue.bsky.social · 05/05/2026Dang, I'm not a big basketball fan but I'm loving how they represent trains! Keep up the great work 000
