An impressive example for the advantage of arriving directly in the heart of a city by train is Venice. 
Literally seconds after you go off the train you have the breathtaking view on the Canale Grande. 
No searching for parking lot, just enjoying the moment.
The game of Calcio
The Venetians played ball games of various kinds. The game of Calcio is the one sounds most modern, but it wasn't exactly like it's played today. Far from it, in fact.
In Italian, modern football is called calcio, so for Italian speakers that's the first association. It is therefore tempting to think of it as a kind of ancient football, but it probably resembled rugby more, as the players — at least in some versions of the game — could pick up the ball with their hands.
Our main source for early modern calcio is Antonio Scaino, in his Treatise on the game of ball from 1555.

Il Gran teatro di Venezia — Domenico Lovisa
The Il Gran teatro di Venezia was published by the Venetian printer Domenico Lovisa sometimes in the 1710s or 1720s, in any case after 1715, when the application for a printing permit was made.
The full title is a bit of a mouthful: Il Gran teatro di Venezia ovvero descrizzione esatta di cento delle più insigni prospettive, e di altretante celebri pitture della medesima città, il tutto disegnato, e intagliato eccelentemente da periti artefici, con la narrazione della fondazione delle chiese, monasteri, spedali, isolette, e altri luoghi sì pubblici, come privati ... tomi due in foglio imperiale — In Venezia : per Domenico Lovisa sotto i portici a Rialto.

Ball games in Venice
The Venetians of yore — like many other European people — played ball games for fun and sports.
Some of these ball games were almost, but not quite, unlike some modern sports, even if not excessively. Others are by now long gone and forgotten.
Sports in the part were for the more affluent. In Venice, that meant the citizen and noble classes, that is, those who didn't have physically hard work, and who had leisure time available for play.

The Venetian Nobility
The Venetian nobility was formally egalitarian, but in practice not so much.
The aristocracy was in charge of the Republic of Venice for most of its history, and in particular after the "Locking of the Council" in 1297. Membership of the Greater Council was then made hereditary, and limited to members of the nobility.
The nobles never more than a few percent of the population, but they always dominated the republic, and after 1297, they were the republic.
