Wrigley Field

Best seats

Lower boxes behind the plate; the outfield bleachers are the party; upper-deck reserved is a great cheap view of the classic scoreboard. Rooftops across Waveland/Sheffield are a Chicago tradition.

Parking

Very limited and pricey in Wrigleyville — use the Red Line or remote lots with a shuttle. Residential permit parking is strictly enforced. ($50–75 (Wrigleyville lots) USD)

Getting there

Red Line to Addison drops you at the gate — by far the easiest way.

Bar scene

One of the best pre-game bar districts in sports — Clark & Addison is packed hours before first pitch. Rooftops for a splurge.

Pre-game bars

• Murphy's Bleachers — Right by the bleacher entrance — the spot.
• The Cubby Bear — Legendary corner bar across from the marquee.
• Sluggers — Multi-level; batting cages upstairs.

Concession prices (USD, approx)

• Old Style beer$10–13
• Chicago dog$7
• Italian beef$13
