An Out-of-the-Ballpark Trip to Wrigleyville
If you haven't made it to Wrigleyville for a Cubs game, it's time to experience this indelible part of Chicago. There's plenty to explore even when Wrigley's gates are closed.
For sports fans
Cubs tickets Cubs games often sell out before the season starts, though you do still have a shot at some May and September games. If you don't snatch up tickets when they go on sale in February, you'll have to buy them at marked-up prices from brokers. Stop at the Wrigley Field box office, 1060 W. Addison St., at 9 a.m. on weekend game days (8 a.m. on weekdays) to see if they have any recently released tickets (773/404-2827; cubs.com). If you're lucky enough to get them, you'll pay face value (from $27). Otherwise, head to Stubhub.com, a Major League Baseball-sanctioned site that season-ticket holders use to sell their seats. For rooftop seats, try Wrigleyville Rooftops (773/842-5387; wrigleyrooftops.com).
