Greetings. Later this summer, I'm coming in from out-of-state and I'm hoping to do my first weekday day game at Wrigley Field. I'll be checking out of my hotel that morning so what is the simplest, easiest L route from one of the city's park and rides to Wrigley Field? Thank you in advance.

Where is your hotel?

Bolingbrook, but it really doesn't matter because I can find any park & ride lot via GPS and drive to it. The simplest most direct T line (without switching trains hopefully) from whatever park & ride is what I'm hoping to find. Thank you for your help.

Well, you're going to have to switch trains. I'm assuming your renting a car, so why not return it to the airport you're flying out of and take the Blue Line (O'Hare) or Orange Line (Midway) downtown. You'll have to switch trains to the Red Line at downtown.

Are you talking about the free park and ride the Cubs offer on 3900 N Rockwell St, Chicago, IL ?

If so, best bet is to Uber from there to Stadium.

Yep, that's the only one I know of. Where are the other Park and Rides?
I feel like there is one on Addison that is west of Lane Tech, near that soccer field they put in.

For Sunday games I usually park on Clark. I got a little south since it's free but if the weather is nice, it can be a nice enjoyable long walk.

I appreciate everyone's info thank you. I'll have my own car (not a rental) and thought of parking at the airport.

I've parked at the shuttle lot on N. Rockwell St. past years when I was in Chicago on the weekends. That worked well but the game on Friday 9/20 is a day game.

If I parked at the park & ride at 7474 N. Rogers Ave., I could catch the red line at Howard Station (first or last red line stop depending how you look at it) and I could take it to Addison. I'd never have to go downtown or switch trains right? That sound right?

Thanks.
