Chicago Baseball Weekend

A Chicago baseball weekend itinerary — see the Cubs at Wrigley Field and the White Sox on the South Side, both on the CTA Red Line, in one trip. Day-by-day plan from Chasing Stadiums.

Overview

Chicago's two ballparks both sit on the CTA Red Line, so a weekend can cover Wrigley Field on the North Side and the White Sox ballpark on the South Side — ideally around the Crosstown Classic. Check both home schedules, then ride the Red Line between them.

Day 1 — North Side

Take the Red Line to Addison for Wrigley Field (1914). Walk Wrigleyville and Gallagher Way before the game, take in the ivy and the hand-turned scoreboard, and sing 'Go Cubs Go' after a win.

Day 2 — South Side

Ride the Red Line to Sox–35th for the White Sox ballpark. Watch for the exploding scoreboard after a home run. If the Cubs and White Sox meet during your trip, the Crosstown Classic is a Chicago highlight.
