Miami Marlins at Chicago Cubs

Accessing Wrigley Field via public transportation is remarkably straightforward, with the CTA's Red Line subway providing direct and convenient service. The Addison station is located just steps from the ballpark's main entrance, making it the most popular and direct rail option. From this station, it's a mere 1-minute walk (approximately 50 metres) to reach the stadium's ticket gates. The Red Line is a critical artery in Chicago's transit system, running north-south through the city and connecting to numerous other L train lines. While Amtrak does not have a station within walking distance, travelers arriving via Amtrak would connect to the CTA system downtown to reach the Red Line. Service on the Red Line is frequent, typically running every 5-10 minutes during peak hours and extending into late-night service, although hours can vary. Journey times from further out on the Red Line can range from 20-40 minutes depending on your starting point. The Addison station is accessible and generally well-equipped for passengers.
