I think he will find that the baseball season is already over.

Appreciate that, the poster stated he was doing a tour of Wrigley Field.....

Yes he did, it’s still early over here...

 

[Easy 10]

Think I'd stay round the Loop. Wrigley is GANGLAND area isn't it ?

 

[timbha]

Not really, I just want to watch the football, and NSC has always provided tip top information when going abroad.

Fair enough, I’m just jealous. Have a great time

Don't know much about Chicago, but the game will be on NBC/NBC sports and will be widely available. There is a good chance you'll be able to see it in your hotel room. Otherwise you'll have to find a bar with a TV that is open at 8am on Sunday - not too much of a stretch methinks: start ringing around when you get there.

I didnt know if like many visitors he was going to hire a car as we did and then paid $100 a day to park at the hotel car park. I must point out we didnt hire the car in Chicago but in Vegas and brother drove to Grand Canyon, Gracelands, Nashville Kentucky and to Ali Museum finishing up in Chicago for flight home, Great 4 weeks. Brother loves driving in USA as it is so easy and relaxing.

Jahanbaksh has a museum? In America? No wonder we never see him at the Amex.

 

[Whoislloydy]

Off to the Windy City tomorrow, going to see the Bears Sunday, is there any where within a 10 minute cab ride from Soldier Field that will be showing the United game?

Not sure if you are on Twitter but there is a Chicago Seagulls supporters group and it says they watch the games from A.J. Hudson's Public House - 3801 N Ashland Ave, Chicago, IL 60613

Enjoy Wrigley Field - so different to so many modern stadiums - especially as some of the seats are outside the stadium, on top of houses on the other side of the road.

I've described it poorly - you'll understand when you're there!

I think you described it perfectly - it's just a bonkers stadium! I've never seen terraces built on the roof of houses over the road before! And that's on two sides of the ground. Bizarre. And ****ing freezing in the wind!

I just looked this up, it’s mad. Are they owned/operated by the club? Or are they owned/operated by the owners of the houses?

 

[Bakero]

I'd heard of Wrigley Field but never knew of this seating tomfoolery. Bizarre.

Wow this is interesting they were independant owners but the club had a stand off with them (putting screens up) and they have to pay 17% of thier gross earnings to the Cubs. But seems the Cubs want to renovate the stadium and have been buying out the rooftops owners.

The houses behind the Goldstone missed a trick

Did you say Chicago?

3801 N. Ashland Ave. is in the Wrigleyville neighborhood (within walking distance of Wrigley Field)

Soldier Field is near the lake in the area where the Shedd Aquarium is located close to the "downtown." This map shows the relationship between Public House (3801 N. Ashland near the intersection of Grace and N. Ashland) and Soldier Field.

The easiest way to get from Soldier Field to Public House and A.J. Hudson's is to take the BLUE LINE, CTA (Chicago Transit Authority) train. In the Loop the Blue Line is underground. You walk west out of Soldier Field to the Blue Line stop at Dearborn Street & Washington.(At State go north

to Washington & then turn west

1 block to Dearborn). You will see subway stairs in the four corners of this intersection that take you down into the underground. Take the Blue Line in the direction of O'Hare. Get off at Division and then take the CTA bus #9 north from the intersection of Milwaukee & Ashland (1/2 block north of Division train stop). Get off the bus at Grace & Ashland. A.J. Hudsons will be on the corner.

I've taken this route about 10 times over the last few years when going to Wrigleyville.​

This shows the intersection of Ashland & Milwaukee. The streetview shows where you exit the Blue line on the right and also where you wait for the #9 CTA bus on the left. The street on the right is Division. The street that the pic is taken from is Ashland. The street on the left running diagonally is Milwaukee.

Here is the streetview of where you enter the Blue Line subway train near the intersection of Washington & Dearborn. Unfortunately there was a lorry parked in front of the subway entrance at the time this pic was taken.

This subway entrance is directly across from the famous Picasso sculpture in Daley Plaza.

My cousin has pointed out that you could get on the Blue Line CTA train as far south as the Jackson station (Jackson & Dearborn) and not have to walk as far north as the Washington station as I previously pointed out.
