Getting to Rate Field
Chicago White Sox · Chicago, IL
Rate Field is one of the few ballparks with a rapid transit station effectively at its gates — Sox-35th on the CTA Red Line — plus a Metra stop on the Rock Island Line a short way east. The club buries all of this in its A-to-Z guide under P rather than giving it a transportation page, which understates how well served the ballpark is.
Tips & Fan Reports
Sox-35th on the Red Line is effectively the ballpark's own station.
Metra's Rock Island Line stops at 35th Street just east of the Dan Ryan, which suits arrivals from the south-west suburbs.
Transit details live under P in the A-to-Z guide, not on a transportation page — the club's own site makes them hard to find.
CTA can be reached on 312.836.7000 for route and schedule questions.
Ways In
- Driving
- The ballpark sits alongside the Dan Ryan Expressway, with the Metra stop at 35th Street just east of it. The club publishes no route in of its own; arrival guidance lives in the A-to-Z guide rather than on a directions page.
- Public Transit
- Rate Field is just off the Sox-35th station on the CTA Red Line, and a number of bus routes serve the area. The Metra stop is at 35th Street just east of the Dan Ryan Expressway, on the Rock Island Line.
- Rideshare
- Uber/Lyft drop-off is on 35th Street near the main gates. From the Loop or Magnificent Mile, expect 15-25 minutes depending on Dan Ryan traffic. Post-game pickup is smooth, less congested than Wrigley.
