Thinking of going to watch a Yankee-Tiger game in September, and haven't a clue about where to stay or travel around the stadium. Any hints would be appreciated and the costs of toll roads to get there.
Well, considering I live in the area...
The only toll you will have to pay (assuming you're coming from Iowa) is in the Chicago metro, the SE-most section of the Northwest Tollway where I-80 and I-294 are sharing the road. It's $1.10 without an I-Pass and half that with.
As far as hotels, I have no idea what your hotel budget is, but regardless I'd recommend staying in the north suburbs. There are a ton nice hotels in the suburbs and it's not hard to get downtown and find parking, especially since the Tigers are so bad.
