    OP here. All great info! Unfortunately, we had to sell our tickets as I'm having open heart surgery. Hoping there's always next year.
    I want to be clever, but I don't know how.

    Not to spread fear, but someone was just stabbed earlier today [in broad daylight!] at the Addison Red Line stop (the one right next to Wrigley Field).   

    99.9% of the time you're going to be safe - but always be alert + vigilant as crimes can happen any time of day - anywhere in the city.
    A child's rhyme stuck in my head...
    It said "Life is nothing but a dream."
    I've spent so many years in question
    To find I'd known this all along.

    That can happen in a small town of 500 people too,

    Indeed - but Chicago is a city not a small town.   Wrigley Field is in Chicago.

    We are staying in a place over on W Irving Park Rd. It looks to be about a 15 min walk. Anyone aware if this would be a safe walk to and from? It's a 4 min drive, so we could, but I imagine we'd get back much quicker walking than attempting to drive back and get out of the ball park.

    Yes most of the time you'll be safe - and that is a generally safe neighborhood.      But always practice situational awareness.

    Yeah, I grew up in Lansing, and have been all over Detroit, Flint, and Chicago. I just have never been to or over by Wrigley. Agreed lol, that's why I thought a walk for the come down after the show would be good. Appreciate you!

    Thanks for the geography lesson but I didn’t need it. There was one fucking incident. No need to warn people like they’re going to be walking through Englewood.
