Parking and Transportation:
Wrigley Field is located in the Lakeview residential
neighborhood in Chicago and parking in the area is quite
limited. There are very few parking lots in the area
and street parking near the park is not allowed without
a resident parking permit. The best way to reach the
park is via public transportation. The CTA red line
(part of the Chicago passenger rail system also known
as "the L") services the park via the Addison
station located directly across from Wrigley Field.
For weekend and night games, a shuttle is availble from
the DeVry University campus on Western Avenue and Addison
Street. Shuttle parking at the campus costs $6.00 and
includes transportation service to and from the ballpark
for all vehicle occupants. Shuttle service begins 2
1/2 hours prior to game time and concludes 1 hour after
night games and 2 hours after weekend day games.
