I was hoping for it.

I hate the Cubs, but I can't miss an opportunity to go to Wrigley Field...

Don't pour poison on the ivy, they don't like that.

What about parking??

How's the neighborhood (is there a "good" part of Chicago)?

Drink heavily before you get there because they charge an arm and a leg for beers. Also, don't run out on the field.

Get drunk the cheap way, not the expensive way.

that's why people have bbq and drink in the parking lot before the game

The neighboorhood isnt bad but I would still pay the 15-20 for some good parking.

Also this is more of a general tip but be sure to follow the signs downtown or your likely to get yourself into a big mess. With all the one way streets and problems down there, one wrong turn and you have a big headache waiting for you.

There's a place on Grace Street ~half block East of Clark (about two blocks North of the field). It's some kind of Catholic Girls School / Home for Wayward females....don't recall). They do parking for the games, the rate is reasonable, the cars are as safe as you're likely to find.

Good Luck

When I went to Wrigley I took the train. It was only a couple blocks away from the park and I didn't have to deal with the traffic & parking.

There's usually some fairly cheap/easy parking right around by the Taco Bell outside of Wrigley...the local residents sell their driveways out for parking, and there's some bigger places that usually cost around 10-15 bucks that you can usually easily find.

I take it you don't want to meet up with any of the locals like me?

Its in an ok part of Chicago. but then again, anything thats not south is pretty good.

yes. but you do know they are in first place? amazing as it sounds it is true!

 

[mpitts]

If you do get the chance to go, you need to.

I went to Wrigley the last time I was in Chicago. It is something that every baseball fan needs to do before they die.

Wrigley is in the center of boys town
