As far as Sunday, what you will you be doing? Historical stuff, exploring city? That may dictate where you park. Unfortunately you are probably catching the two quietest evenings in the city (Sunday and Monday).

For 4 of you I would probably suggest just driving into the city; will likely still be cheaper though most likely you will want to park the car and leave it once in the city.

Hope you enjoy your trip; will actually be at that game

I highly doubt we go out after the game on Monday.

Good question about what we want to see. One thing I'd like to see is Rocky statue? Is that in Center City? As far as hisotorical stuff. I think it would be cool to see some historical buildings and such. Not really sure we want to spend time in museums etc.

Thanks a lot.

Don't drive in the city if you don't need to. It's a pain in the ass. Catch the train in like you said.
The rocky statue is at the Art museum (which is a great museum, but if you don't like em, you don't like em). Not sure its worth bothering to see Rocky, but that's just me. You can ride the Philly PHlash trolley which takes you around all the sites in/around downtown. If you spend the days sightseeing you can pick it up in different spots and get an independence pass $11/pp and good all day (covers your Septa and Phlash). Beats the hassle of parking and sitting in traffic.

If we took the train into town where would we catch it at all? Media? How late is that station open?

Thanks
