re: Chicago for Cubs' game

Used to live there a mile from the field for a long time. This is a great bachelor party event. Bleachers are good, it's like the infield at Indy 500 - a bit rowdy and fun. Bring sun protection as you are staring right into the sun on afternoon games.

Also rooftops can be fun if you have a group. $150/ea all you can eat/drink. Basically gas station pizza and nachos and cheap bear. We used to go with our alumni association and it was awesome.

Is price an issue? I love Hotel Zachary in Wrigleyville.

The redline goes to both stadiums so any hotel within a couple blocks or however far you want to walk to the redline is generally a great spot.

In regards to seats there’s a lot of old posts here. But the bleachers you can’t get to the rest of the stadium. I love the bleachers, I’ve been first in line 3 hours before the game back in the Sosa days. But you are staring into the sun and there’s other limitations.

Time of year also really matters. Spring games and fall you want to pay attention to weather and game time. I went to a late April 1pm game 3 years ago that was freezing in our seats in the shade but the sun was probably 15* warmer. Coldest at a baseball game I’ve ever been we wore winter coats and hats but didn’t plan on it being THAT cold.
