Chicago show

Post by doctorjon »

When does Jimmy report back to Wrigley Field ? But the bigger question is what kind of parking is available for tailgating?

No date yet. As for parking, don't even consider it. Use public transportation. Most lots are not right at the field. The whole neighborhood will be one huge tailgate, party. You'll have a blast!

Ugh, Wrigleyville. I'll pass on standing in line at bars for 40 minutes to get a $8 PBR and go out of town to see a show this year...

Parking is always a nightmare in Chicago. According to an article in the Tribune that I saved, Wrigley Field Parking opened 3 hours prior to the show and stayed open 1 hour afterward. No tailgating allowed. Parking was for sale on-line. Am I allowed to name the site? The Cubs operated a shuttle and parking service at the DeVry University Campus, Addison and Western. Parking $6, shuttle free. All bags inspected on entry to Wrigley. Not allowed: food & beverages, umbrellas, cameras, video recorders, and laser pointers. More info on the Cubs website. Please keep in mind that this info applied to the 2005 show.

The date will be announced in the next day or two officially, but I can tell you with certainty it will be July 15.

The Cubs offer a FREE shuttle service now. Park at 3900 N. Rockwell, just off of Irving Park. Last bus leaves Wrigley an hour after the show.

I should mention that parking at this site is also free, at least it was in 2016.

Crazy onside for sure! But I got lucky and landed fields seats, the Shark and Carmen sail again! See you soon Jimmy! 70! I can't believe we are still going strong! I remember saying to myself after a show at Alpine during the Tuesday, Thursday and Saturdays Tour...."I hope this is not his last year"....17 years later!!!!! I'm going to Wrigley Field!
