As long as you're not behind a column or something you should have a decent view. Obviously as you get higher/further from the field it gets harder to see by virtue of things getting really small.

This link seems to have a decent guide - http://chiblogo.wordpress.com/2008/0...-in-the-house/. You'll want to get this taken care of ASAP though as those games will certainly sell out well in advance I'd expect.

For afterwards, if you walk about three or four blocks west on Waveland to Southport, you've got a block North of you and perhaps five or six blocks south of you of restaurants and bars to choose from. There's stuff right by the ballpark on Clark and Sheffield as well although personally I'd walk a few blocks over to Southport.
