It's amazing what they can do with computers these days.

There is a parking garage right next to the stadium. Last year it only cost $3 to park.

You can also take the blue line to Rosemont and either walk 1 mile to the stadium or take the free Rosemont Entertainment Circulator bus (Rte 811).

You can pay me with cash at the game. Otherwise, I have Quickpay, which we can work out over PM.

I would happily be absorbed by Cubsposters.

I mean, what is a Twins fan but a Cubsposter for a different team?

That reminds me, are you going to bring some frozen pizza to taunt the native Chicago folks with? :v:

When and where should we meet? Since we all need to be there to grab the tickets from Mangles before going in, it'd be nice to show up on the earlier side.

I'm pretty sure there is only one entrance, and that is on the southwest corner of the stadium next to the parking garage. We would probably all have to meet there. I'm not able to, but people could go to the highly fashionable Rosemont entertainment district beforehand and walk/shuttle over to the game.

Probably a long shot, but can we pick them up from the box office so Mangles isn't stuck waiting for any late people? My hope was to get there not later than 6:45 anyway, as long as my babysitter shows up on time.

I'd much rather show up way early than risk the chance of being late, since there will inevitably be some stragglers. I was thinking like 6:15 or 6:30 at the latest.

Omfg I’m an idiot and thought the game was tomorrow and not Saturday. I started a new job and I’m hosed for the game.

So rd mangles I will need to pay for you for my 4 tickets somehow unless other folks have extra people they wanna bring who are willing to buy those tickets

So can we all get to the game at 6:15? That's the time I'd feel most comfortable with. I have several Chicagoons' cell numbers, but we can also use this thread to coordinate exactly where we're all meeting.

Carlos Zambrano started on Monday, so if they're on a 5-man rotation, there's a good chance we'll see him pitch.

Also I'd like to point out that the Chicago Dogs are managed by Butch Hobson, which is pretty much the best baseball name ever.

I likely can't be earlier than 6:30, but I'll try to get there earlier than that. I have Mangles number though, I could text him if everyone goes into the park before I get there.

I've got an end of season party for one of my teams prior to the game and it's out in the burbs but I'll duck out early and try to get up to Rosemont around 6:15
