I am staying in the Chinatown district again this year at the South Loop Hotel.  In 2016 we stayed at Mcormick place and got on the redline at the cermak station (Chinatown).  We felt safe walking back to the hotel after the show.  From that experience I saw the parking lot right under the station at Cermak and it seems well lit and easy to access.

thanks again!

So where on the redline has decent parking?  

The Howard street red line station has a parking garage.  It's about 10 stops north of Wrigley...

And going north after the show will be much better than south

This is 100% true.  in 2013 and 2016 we walked north 1-2 stations to catch the redline going south.

Chinatown has a decent sized lot and it's far enough away (about 35 min on the train) to not be overcrowded.  just note that it is south of Wrigley so if you are heading North after the show it's probably not your best option.

Hey - looks like Forest park (blue line) has parking lots?  So I could drive there...park...take blue line downtown and transfer to red line right?  I've been to chicago a bunch but either driven or stayed downtown....so want to make sure I am picking a good option for a new scenario.

Yes but it will be a long commute for u. I’ve done it many times as I live in the burbs. You staying in the suburbs?

Yes, for this trip way out in the burbs.  Going to hit breweries not in downtown on the off day, so made more sense to save some $.  Downer's grove.

Go to Noon Whistle Brewery. Close to Downers Grove.

Scored a ParkWhiz 1/2 mile south for $25. 3 pm to 1 am

Nicely done. Not sure what's available at this point but highly recommend Park Whiz. Booked my spot 1/2 mile away back in January for $10 lol.

Yup...Station at Sheridan/Irving Park is less than 1/2 mile walk and will be much, much less busy than Addison.
