Regular Light Rail Service Suspended For Super Bowl Sunday
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- If you're not going to the Super Bowl and want to use the light rail service, you're going to run into some problems.
On Super Bowl Sunday, Metro Transit suspended regular light rail service.
Anyone who needs to use the light rail must have a Super Bowl ticket and buy the $30 GameDay Fan Express Pass.
Metro Transit says Gameday Fan Express Pass riders are advised to get to the light rail at least an hour and a half before their ticket time slot.
Those that have Gameday Fan Express Passes to take light rail trains to the Super Bowl are advised to arrive at least an hour and a half before your ticket time slot, as you will need to go through NFL screening BEFORE you can board your train. https://t.co/46a7pIuJ9h

If you're not going to the Big Game, there are free replacement buses on Blue and Green Lines.
Heading downtown tomorrow for #SB52 festivities? Plan ahead; traffic congestion is expected. Board free replacement buses on Blue & Green Lines if you're not going to the game.
