• white sox game (cheap and could cross a ballpark of the list - with their weak ass fanbase, a good ticket will be easy to come by)

Eek, bitter Cub fan alert! Go Sox!!

Just some various things to do in Chicago for those looking to kill time around the Wrigley shows:

Entertainment :

• Willis (Sears) Tower Skydeck (go early or late, but looks awesome with "the Ledge")
• Shedd Aquarium (be there by open for smaller crowd...Sunday is their slowest day)
• Field Museum 
• Museum of Science and Industry
• Adler Planetarium 
• Lincoln Park Zoo (free admission so it may get busy)
• Navy Pier (Ferris Wheel, botanical garden, etc...)
• Architecture Tour (in a boat through Chicago)
• Theater (there are plenty of them around if you want to watch a play)
• white sox game (cheap and could cross a ballpark of the list - with their weak ass fanbase, a good ticket will be easy to come by)

Food:

• Portillo's (lots of locations - Chicago Dog, Combo sandwich and chocolate cake are all fire!)
• Garrett Popcorn (lots of locations and worth a visit by all out of towners, trust me)
• Lou Malnattai's (if you feel the urge to try that Chicago style deep dish)
• Giordanno's (see above)
• Kumas Corner (it's like the 3 Floyd's of the burger world)
• Harry Caray's (downtown, it's kind of like a mini Cubs museum)
• Smoque BBQ
• Au Cheval
• Owen and Engine
• Gibsons Steakhouse 

Beer:

• Pipeworks (beer to go only, but it's good AF)
• Revolution
• Haymarket
• Half Acre
• Lagunitas
• Goose Island 
• 3 Floyd's (if you're a beer nerd with a car and willing to drive about 30 minutes south east of the city)

Hope some of this helps some people plan a little bit of extra stuff to do during your trips. I tried to keep everything within close proximity to where many out of towners will be staying. Ig you're going to be driving through NW Indiana and want some ideas for things to see/do there or SW Michigan, let me know.

Pumped too check out the zoo and eat some deep dish

May not recommend the deep dish on the day of the show if you haven't had it yet. You'd hate your username to become something you have to do during a PJ show!

Hoping for both!

Question about CTA passes for the train.  Is it worth buying a three day pass online and do I need a Ventra card to do so?  Or is it easy to buy a pass once in town at one of the stations?

In 2013 I got a deal on Groupon for a CTA pass that was mailed to me.  Are there still deals like this?

Is anyone else wildly disappointed in their seats at Wrigley? I got the pre-order raffle tickets and I'm still way up in section 415. I'm damn near as far away fromthe stage as it gets.

Guessing your fan club number isn't the best.

You won't be disappointed. These are very good seats. We will be in row 15 just 5 rows behind you. We sat up a little higher around this section in 2016 and I was very happy.

Awesome! They look like great seats from the chart but I wasn’t sure. I’ll have to shoot you a PM once we’re seated and we can wave to each other lol.

Thanks to the best wedding present ever (from my now wife), we'll be at Wrigley 1. First trip to Chicago (and I'm a lifelong Bears fan). I'm pretty damn stoked! 

JojoRice

With Missoula show over, we are officially on the clock!
