What is wrong with you people...it's all about priorities. Would you rather pay for a taxi or get the train. It's a cheap option IMO to get home safely.

Going down to the Dome I agree with you, the train usually tops a vehicle.
On the homeward trip, the platform to catch the downtown train is always packed, then waiting on a platform downtown to catch the NE can be a cold and miserable trip (especially if the game started at 8, and you get back downtown after the game when the NE train runs every 1/2 hour). Even then, once you get to the NE you probably need to drive home unless you live really close to the station, or want to wait for another connection on a bus on a a night-time schedule.
Driving home, once you get away from the dome there is very little traffic, and even then in your vehicle you are warm and can listen to the radio.
Oh, and while I enjoy a few beer at a game, I hate feeling like I need to go to the washroom half way through a period and I figure I spent enough for the ticket that I want to pay attention to the game. I can "drink my face off" afterwards if I so desire.
