Getting Around

The CTA Red Line's Addison stop is right outside Wrigley Field, making the train the easiest way in. Buses also serve the area. Driving into Wrigleyville on a game day is slow and parking is scarce, so most fans take the 'L'.

Parking

Neighborhood parking is limited and permit-restricted on many streets, and lots fill early. Take the Red Line if you can; if you drive, pre-book a lot or garage and expect a walk.

Best Seats & Views

Seats behind home plate and along the infield offer the best views of the field and the historic scoreboard. The bleachers are a classic, social Wrigley experience, and rooftop venues across Waveland and Sheffield Avenues offer a one-of-a-kind vantage.

Where to Stay

Wrigleyville has hotels within walking distance of the park, and Lakeview and Lincoln Park nearby offer more options with quick Red Line access. Downtown Chicago is a straightforward train ride away. Compare dates, as prices swing with the schedule.

Nearby Attractions

Wrigleyville's bars and restaurants — especially around Clark and Addison — are a destination in themselves. Gallagher Way beside the park hosts events, and the lakefront, Lincoln Park Zoo, and downtown Chicago are all close.

Ballpark History

Opened in 1914, Wrigley Field is the second-oldest ballpark in the majors, famous for its ivy-covered outfield walls, hand-turned scoreboard, and rooftop seating across the street. The Cubs ended a 108-year championship drought with their 2016 World Series title.

Fan Tips

Arrive early to take in the marquee at Clark and Addison and to watch batting practice. Sing along to 'Go Cubs Go' after a win, and note whether the flags are blowing in or out — the wind off Lake Michigan can decide the game.

Accessibility

Wrigley Field offers accessible seating, entrances, and restrooms, with guest services available to help. As one of baseball's oldest parks, contact the team ahead of time to confirm accessible seating locations and the best entrance for your visit.

Neighborhood

Wrigleyville is one of the most famous ballpark neighborhoods in sports — walkable, lively, and full of pregame and postgame options along Clark and Sheffield. The Red Line links it directly to downtown.
