Travel
Overview
Wrigley Field is in the Wrigleyville neighborhood on Chicago's North Side, about 4 miles north of the Loop (downtown). The CTA Red Line to Addison is the clear best option, the station is one block east of the ballpark on Addison Street. Driving is possible but painful: Wrigleyville has almost no dedicated parking, residential permit zones fill the neighborhood, and post-game traffic is gridlocked. Rideshare works for getting there but post-game pickup is chaotic. From downtown, the Red Line takes 15-20 minutes.

“Take the Red Line. There's no better way to get to Wrigley. It's fast, cheap, and drops you one block from the gate.”
“If driving from the suburbs, consider parking at a CTA station and riding the Red Line in. Much less stressful.”
“Post-game Red Line trains at Addison are packed. Walk one stop south to Belmont for a less crowded platform.”
“Lake Shore Drive northbound backs up badly on weekend afternoon games. Leave downtown at least 2 hours early if driving.”
“The #152 bus from the lakefront is a scenic alternative to the Red Line on summer day games.”
“Wrigleyville streets are congested 90+ minutes before and 60+ minutes after the game. Budget extra time for any driving.”
