redandwhite Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Defintily get lower level seating. The Upper Deck seats restrict your experience, you'll still get to see a hell of a baseball team, but for your first time, walking around the park and taking it all in is the way to go.

Thanks to Chisoxrd5 the tickets are sorted. All I need to know is how long will it take me to get a train from the hotel to O'Hare, pick up a car and drive back to the hotel on a Saturday morning? Not being sure of the geography I can't work out when to book my pick up time for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not being sure of the geography I can't work out when to book my pick up time for. Downtown to O'Hare and back downtown... 40 minutes there, 20-30 to get the car sorted, and 50 back. Estimating the time there. I never took a train from the city to O'Hare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxrd5 Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 http://tripsweb.rtachicago.com/ This gives the proper train and the exact time it will take you to walk and take the public transportation (train or bus) from point a to point b.

I'm going to be there, but: 1. I'm in the lousy stinking useless upper deck and 2. I'll have my daughter with me, which means I rarely stray from my seats. Enjoy the game, though, Plod, and bring the Sox some UK MOJO!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxrd5 Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 (edited) Not sure if Simon is posting on here while he is in the US, but just so everyone knows his flight was delayed but he made it in yesterday evening. He picked quite a day to fly in huh? I spoke to him over the phone and I'm definitely looking forward to attending Saturday's game with with him and his son!
