Hi guys,

 

Giants fan here, living in Chicago. Hope you guys are enjoying AJ...we don't really miss him! :-)

 

I have two questions: Would I be better off buying tickets for Saturday's game online, or at the ballpark? Also, the website lists the parking at $17...That seems like a lot. Are there other lots nearby for less?

 

Any help would be appreciated.

You can park downtown and take the red line right to the park.

 

A lot of parking lots downtown are $5 on the weekends.

 

I would get the tickets online if you want good seats. It MAY be a hot ticket if the weather is nice, and/or they sweep Cleveland.

Have fun at the game. Mreye's advice is great. You won't find anywhere legal around the ballpark to park that is less than $17. Don't risk parking somewhere you should not, or you will be ticketed and/or towed. The train ride is only $1.75 each way IIRC, and it is well worth it.

I always liked printing of tickets and not worrying about the box office.

 

Theres a parking lot at Wabash and Monroe near the Shubert Theatre, the red line is literally across the street at State.

 

I dont know how much it is on weekends, its still the theatre district. Most of State St. is heavy weekend type stuff, so I dont know if the lots wil be much cheaper.

 

You have to take the $4 round trip/person the red line will add.

 

If you do park at the Cell, I suggest avoiding lot B.

Drive to 'China Town' early and park on the street for free. Jump on the red line at 22nd street, go 1 stop south to the park. Shhhhh, don't tell anyone.

Gotta, agree. with Eye and SS..

 

Also you love the experince of talking to the Bums!!

 

Best Place to park is 2 blocks west of the House of Blues, there is a Parking lot on LaSalle. $6 for weekend parking, and 2 blocks from the redline Grand Stop. You also could hit my fav. pre-game spot.. Rock Bottom, grab some good beer and head down to the game.

Hope you guys are enjoying AJ...we don't really miss him! :-)

Of course you miss him, otherwise you wouldn't have mentioned him....

For parking you could go to Jimbo's 33rd and Princeton, ask for a parking pass. They'll give you one if you promise to return it after the game and suck back some food and drink in there. You can also try the same thing at Shinnock's 38th and Union, or have a pre -game lunch at Shaller's 38th and Halsted and park in their lot for free and walk to the game.

Why are you going to a sox game if you are a Giants fan?

Because he is a baseball fan

 

I have been to a bunch of places just to see the parks.

He can answer...I'm just curious. Most people go to the f***ing urinal at Clark and Addison.

Hell, I go to Wrigley cause theres baseball.

 

Besides, its fun to root for 19 teams a year.

I wouldn't piss on that place if it was on fire. Whatever that means.

That's funny. I say the same thing about my boss all the time.

Is this the second straight year of bumping parking a dollar? I think it was 15 in 03, 16 in 04 and now 17? These guys increase prices more than the damn post office

Yes it is. And actually I think it was $10 in 2000.

Well they better win the damn division this year or we are paying more for less!

Could you come down to my office, please?

Yes it is.  And actually I think it was $10 in 2000.

Yes, it was!

I will say this though about the lots. If you scoot out of there after the 9th you can usually make great time. Now if it's a weekday aytime game going home on 55 is another story.......

If you're him, I still wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire.

I know mreye, and believe me, I wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire either

He's probably my boss, then.

We should start a 'who would you rather piss on?' poll.
