That would make sense for a larger stadium, whether NHL/NBA stadium size (~20K seats) or football stadium size (Barcelona holds 100K -- as do several US college football stadiums, but those are very car-centric).
Yes, there is a pocket track near the Montreal Olympic Stadium. I've also seen extra CalTrain service out of San Francisco after a Giants game.
