Cubs vs. White Sox: The Crosstown Chicago Travel Guide

The Cubs–White Sox crosstown rivalry travel guide — how to see both Chicago ballparks in one trip, both on the CTA Red Line, and experience the Crosstown Classic.

See the rivalry

The Cubs (North Side) and White Sox (South Side) meet in the Crosstown Classic each season, splitting the city's loyalties. Because both teams call Chicago home, the series turns the whole city into a divided baseball town.

Seeing both ballparks

Wrigley Field (1914) sits in Wrigleyville on the North Side (Red Line to Addison), while the White Sox ballpark is on the South Side (Red Line to Sox–35th). Both are on the same train line, so pairing them in one trip is easy.

Making it a trip

See both Chicago parks — ideally during the Crosstown Classic — using only the Red Line, and track your visits with Chasing Stadiums. Chicago also anchors the Midwest road-trip loop.
