US Cellular Field, home of the White Sox
For those students taking summer courses, you have the great opportunity to enjoy any one of a number of baseball games being played on either side of town. Both stadiums are a great place to grab a hot dog, sit in the sun, and enjoy America’s pastime.
You can see the Cubs’ schedule and buy tickets here, as well as the same for the White Sox here. For the budget conscious, the White Sox offer 1/2 price tickets on most Monday home games.
If you’ve never attended a game at Wrigley Field, it’s time to do so. Not only does it offer a great place to watch baseball, but it acts as a museum, with so much of it seemingly unchanged since early last century. In the same breath, if you’ve never (or not recently) been to US Cellular Field, it’s become a terrific baseball experience. The food is as good as ballpark food gets, and fans in the lower deck can walk around and explore many of the shops and stands in the stadium.
USE YOUR U-PASS: Both stadiums are accessible via bus and train. From campus, you can take the blue line to the red line and head north towards Howard for Wrigley Field. The exit is Addison. For US Cellular, head towards 95th and get off and Sox-35th. The Halsted bus can also get your close to both stadiums. A short walk down 35th or Addison will put you right in front of either stadium.
