Finally got mine after waiting on prices! Thanks for sharing!!
Staying downtown. Is it advisable to take the Green Line to Damen and walk the 4 blocks? Or would you recommend another way to get from downtown?
Am doing the same thing, so hopefully the Green Line is the best option. Did see the State/Lake Station is closed just fyi.
The 20 CTA bus runs along Madison from Millennium Park (the bean) to the United Center. It runs about every 10 minutes. Also most events have a 19 express bus from 90 minutes before to an hour after. The 19 goes from United Center to Michigan Ave (Mag mile area).
Absolutely, this is the way to go. After the game it could be a little rough as that train cuts through some bad neighborhoods before Damen on the way back to downtown. Likely will have a lot more folks than usual from the game, so it should be fine. But going out there before the game will be a breeze
Red Roof Inn, Cabrini Green.
I’d definitely uber, it’ll be like a $20 uber and way easier than dealing with transit. I live downtown and I haven’t been on an L in probably 3 years lol downtown loop to the UC is a super quick uber
Not trying to be an alarmist but as a local Chicagoan there has been an uptick in the amount of violent crime on the L the past year, green line isn’t the best either as it passes through some of the more rough neighborhoods. Anyone here considering it just take an uber, it’s also just as easy if not easier then the L. Or if you’re taking an L do it on the way there not way back, post game will be closer to midnight and it does get a little dicey then. Just my honest opinion.
My guess is it'll be fine if there are large groups of sports fans on the lines. The sketchy times on the L are when its super late and you're by yourself.
Wife has never been. I haven't done a lot of the tourist stuff downtown. What's everyone's favorite can't miss touristy activities for Saturday?
Great starting point.
Wife and I are going to do some museums and eat a lot
The River & Lake Architecture Tour is pretty good

After the game take her to the Wieners Circle (2622 N Clark St, Chicago, IL 60614) and get a chocolate shake. See you there!
