SleepyWhiteSox Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 QUOTE(black jack @ May 30, 2005 -> 11:35 PM) I'd say serious patience not balls. it takes forever to get home after the game with the over crowded subway cars. I walk over to the Green Line if I am heading north after a game. I doubt you lose more than 10 minutes on your trip, but I will only recommend that for day games. I can't vouch for the safety of that area even though I went to school right there at De. But since I live on the South Side, I usually take the bus down to the 35th/Archer Orange line stop. Either way, I almost always take the train instead of driving. As a college student, I have to take advantage of the student bus pass...

soxman352000 Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ May 31, 2005 -> 04:35 AM) Are you serious? Everytime we go to Chicago, we take the El. Never had a problem. I had a bad experience my friend left me high and dry and i had to go home by myself. I remember I sat net to some homeless guy who was going off on a rant about how he used to be a "high rolla" and how he had the custom rims on s***. I didn't know where I was going and I was afraid to ask the people on the train. I tried the drivver nut he was such an ass. He said that ain't my job. Finally I asked this women who just got on and she got me home on the right route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitetrain8601 Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 If you're going past 35th(going south) then you shouldn't take the Red Line unless you live in a neighborhood close to the stop. If you're going to Beverly, it's better to take the Red Line to downtown and get on the Rock Island. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, though...I think the El is extremely safe. I've fallen asleep on the Orange, Green, Red, Brown, and Purple lines countless times and have never had any problems. My only complaint is the cubs fans that crowd the Red Line and ruin my power nap on my way to school... By the way, if a guy on the El approaches you asking if you would like to participate in an extremely quick psychology experiment for DePaul, please say yes. I have a few to do in a short amount of time, but the good news is that I'm essentially done.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 I wouldn't mess around trying to get tickets for this series. I would just get on whitesox.com and pay face value. These tickets are going to sell pretty well, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosMediasBlancas Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 What's wrong with the 'El"???? I think it's one the best, truly Chicago experiences. Yes, the wait can be lengthy and the trains will be full leaving the game, but the few times I've driven to the game, it took me a lot longer to get home that way. Getting to my car sucked, getting out of the lot sucked, getting on the highway sucked AND I paid a s***load more than what the train costs.

There is nothing wrong with the El, if it works for your situation. Its just some dopes perpetuating stereotypes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if I have to wait anywhere I would rather wait in my car alone than with a zillion other people on a train. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Prawn Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 I had bad experiences with the buses (which is why I will only ride them about once a year), but never had a bad experience on the El. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just some dopes perpetuating stereotypes... To each his own. The way I see, I'll save the money on parking and gas and ride the El. It sux getting home no matter how you slice it, you might as well save a little loot. That's just me though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olp_nch Posted May 31, 2005 Author Share Posted May 31, 2005 Thanks for the advice guys... It sounds like I will go about getting tickets right off the Sox webpage. I am amazed at how much more expensive it is compared to Twins tickets. Granted the dome sux! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnB Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 I've said it to countless people before but the metra rail would make a s***load of money if their rock island route would just put a stop by the cell. I mean it goes RIGHT by the stadium ont he side of the ryan but doesn't stop there. I know i'd take that everytime instead of paying 17 for parking.
