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.
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.
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.
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.
Yes. Wrigley Field and the White Sox ballpark are both on the CTA Red Line (Addison and Sox–35th), so you can pair them in a single trip — ideally during the Crosstown Classic.
The Crosstown Classic is the interleague rivalry series between the Chicago Cubs and Chicago White Sox each season.
Take the CTA Red Line — Addison for Wrigley Field on the North Side and Sox–35th for the White Sox ballpark on the South Side.
