BUMP: Asked the boys which stadium they wanted to hit up this year and they picked Wrigley. The dates that work for us, we can catch a Cubs and Sox Game. What is my best bet as a far as hotel location goes? Cubs is Sunday 1:10, Sox Monday 7:20. Fly home from Ohare on Tuesday. We fly in Saturday afternoon

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.

Find a hotel in River North, The Loop, or Streeterville. These will have the greatest concentration of hotels across all price ranges. Plus, you'll be in walking distance of a Red Line station, which goes to both stadiums (as baldona said).

If you’re a whiskey/bourbon guy go hit up GNS market and grab one of their store picks.
