    Question for the Chicago folks: I am driving in from Wisconsin Friday and was thinking about stopping to check on merch on my way to our hotel (Hilton Magnificent Mile). How difficult will it be to park near Wrigley and would it be easier to check-in and use public transportation instead? Thanks for any input.
    You can park anywhere by Wrigley until 6pm. Unless a sign says otherwise. Good for merch. Not good for the shows unless you know someone with parking stickers 
    Good to know. Thanks! (And definitely taking public transit for Saturday.)
    When you go for merch....

    Just stay on Clark St. and head North of Wrigley, within a half a block you will start seeing free parking on both sides of Clark. 
    I parked on Clark yesterday, about 3/4 of a block from the merch booth. A 3 minute walk. 
    Take me piece by piece.....
    Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....

    If anyone’s going to merch today, I really want a kids XL foam finger shirt. I can meet up later today to pay.

    If anyone going to get merch today can grab me a 3X mystery box, I’d be ecstatic. Planning on heading up after work, but I work in the burbs, so I wouldn’t be there until closer to 6. Willing to pay and give a parking sticker for the neighborhood for your troubles. I’ll be at N1 in the PIT.

    Thanks for all the advice/input everyone. Wife wants to buy some things for the nieces and nephews. I'm more than happy to just hit Murphy's and Sluggers. My plan is to get the shopping done on Friday and bounce around the establishments on Saturday.

    Be patient when leaving. Red line gets crazy. Take your time leaving, hang out for a bit. 
    Or walk north to the stop before Addison

    Back in 2018 we left during YL and somehow had no issues with the red line and getting back to the hotel. May have been dumb luck. I have zero problem with hanging around Wrigley for a bit.

    Not too bad but the sun is beating down!!🥵.   Possible light rain between 1 and 5 pm 
    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.

    Just noticed the event token only says 8-29. Does this mean there will be a 8-31 token too?

    Are they selling 8-31 event stickers & buttons today? If not then I'm guess the day after Night 1 those along with the Night 2 tokens will be on sale. And those .. IMO ..

    How does the Wrigley Field Ivy poster look? That's the only one that I find even close to cool. I feel like it could pop or just be ok. Any pics or just opinions on what you saw?
