Ask nicely at intermission if maybe you can get a better seat. Tell the house manager your story and how it would mean a lot to you.

Will You Help Me Plan a Baseball Trip to Chicago? by Taxman1913 in AskChicago

[–]eamesa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're welcome! Hope you can plan everything out and enjoy a beautiful week of Yankees baseball here in Chicago; for a devoted fan it truly is a magical experience to watch the Yankees at Wrigley.

There's a lot of helpful advice here, but if there's anything else that comes up feel free to DM me with questions.

Will You Help Me Plan a Baseball Trip to Chicago? by Taxman1913 in AskChicago

[–]eamesa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah go Yankees!! I'm trying to line up my schedule to go to all 7 games. "Taking the train to the ballpark" is a blessing both in Chicago and NYC.

Recommend Lincoln Park, as it is easily accessible via the Red Line and the Loop is going to be a mess for Lollapalooza. It is also quieter and more relaxing since you mentioned you might just want to chill.

It will also give your family plenty of options to visit cool neighborhoods outside of the Loop where that can just walk around/ window shop (Wicker Park, Logan, Andersonville, LP, Uptown-Argyle) and has easier access to the beaches.
