Originally posted by PremEx2002:"The absolute cheapest way to get to get to Wrigley (and it's really cheap and pretty easy), is to take the train (i.e. the El (short for
Elevated Train) to a bus and then take the bus. For that, what you do is, as you are
exiting ORD, look for the signs for the train to downtown. Follow those to the entrance of the ORD El station. You'll need to buy a plastic ticket. Put about $4.00 on the card (you can choose how much to put on the card). Go through the station entrance and get on the train. Don't worry about which direction to go, ORD is the end of the line so all trains go toward downtown. Take the El about 6 stops (that's a guess) to the Addison St. station. (There are maps inside the train cars which will make things easy for you). Get off at Addison. Walk up to Addison Street. You should see a bus station nearby. You'll want to get on the Addison bus that is
heading left from the direction you just came on the El. (You want to be heading east toward Lake Michigan). If when the bus comes by, you're not sure, just ask if the bus is going east toward Wrigley. The bus drivers are friendly and will gladly let you know whether you're going in the right direction). Take the bus about 2 miles until you see the stadium on your left)."
You don't have to take the L because you are coming form ORD. The L is a part of the train system that is downtown. Take the blue line from ORD towards downtown. Ask an employee in which station you have to get off or look at the train system map. What you are looking for is the blue line station which makes a connection with the red line(Sorry that I don't remember the name of the station but you can see it on the map). Get off at that station and follow the signs to take the red line ( You have to go down). Continue until the Addison Station. You'll see cubs fans in the train.(People wearing Cubs shirts, hats etc.)When you get off the train, look around you or follow the fans, you will see the Stadium. Price $1.50 since the connection from the blue line to the red line is free. Enjoy the game!
