Wrigley Field: August 18th and 20th Roll Call

darwinstheory

For anyone using trains to get to the Southeast/Indiana, you would likely be using the South Shore Line from Millennium Park. Pay attention as to how late they run on the concert nights (especially Monday). Then factor in that post show, the red line outside of Wrigley is going to be friggin insane and may take 5ou much longer to get to Millennium Park to catch the last South Shore.

I'm in for Saturday! Little brother Nicky is my concert buddy.

We're lucky enough to live a hop, skip, and a jump from Wrigley.

See yous at the Cubby Bear for a 312 before the show.

Don't judge me if I opt for a Green Line or a 3 Floyd's product at Murphy's. I don't think Cubby Bear carries 3 Floyd's.

I'm judging you....you seem awesome.

In 2016 at Cubby Bear they didn;t have much good though...Cant remember what I ended up drinking.  Another bar near had Revolution at least.

Aww shucks! I feel like both Sluggers and Murphys tend to carry a pretty good supply of beer. If memory serves correctly, Murphys had the biggest list, the Sluggers then Cubby Bear. That's just from those three. By the time I make it to any of the other places, a 312 or even a domestic light beer will suit me just fine. Lol

Sea/Kat, could you please have Ed contact Beth Murphy to have her arrange for Murphy's to have several kegs of Zombie Dust on hand for the PJ shows? We have a lot of craft beer out of towners coming in and they deserve to sample the deliciousness that is Zombie Dust. Please and thank you.

 Zombie Dust. That would be awesome! I thought I was lucky to get 2 six packs for holidays. Usually Gumball Head

We are making the trip by car driving up the 17th were able to get a room at the Congress.  Possible stupid question but do the 10club peeps meet up anywhere before the shows to hang out etc?

Yep! There are usually 10C preshow events leading up to the concert including a meet and greet the night before IIRC. Details will come as we get closer. I wasn’t able to attend the ones at Fenway in 2016 (from Boston so was visiting with family), but planning on attending one or more 10C events in Chicago. 

Totally excited! Looking forward to the whole experience in general. I will keep look out for updates. Come on August!

The hotel I want is full. Shocker.

FoxyRedLa

Wow like nothing left in walking distance. Fantastic.

Also... has anyone ever stayed at the River Hotel on Wacker?  I got a pretty decent rate on it but I'm considering just doing the Congress again as its cheaper and damn decent.

FoxyRedLa

Ok folks. If I can't book a hotel within 2 miles how do I get to the show? Cab? Uber? I'm mostly worried about getting back to the hotel. Anyone know of any hotels not in walking distance that shuttle?

I'm staying downtown and taking the train on the red line.  Its cheap and not a long ride.

lolobugg

the Red Line is your best friend.

We are staying in Wrigleyville but my sister and her husband are doing like mcgruff and JoJo and staying downtown.

Just hop on the RedLine to Addison stop.

FoxyRedLa

Thank you!! I'll keep looking for a room!

Not many hotels in walking distance to wrigley.  Maybe check out airbnb options near Wrigley if you want something walkable.  Like others mentioned, anywhere near the red line downtown would be nice and easy.

FoxyRedLa

Ok what is the magnificent mile? What are skydecks? And loops refer to the train?
