Rix Reunion Cubs Game


Many of the Reunioners are going to the Cubs game on Friday July 25th at 1:20pm. At last count I have 15 tickets (all taken). I know the Nuggents and Frantas got some as well. We are going to have a very large group and if we plan on all sitting together in the Bleachers I suggest we all get to Wrigley by 12 Noon. For those who plan to come from Crystal Lake there are several trains that run via the Metra NW line. I live very close to the Irving Park Stop and we can bus it to the game together. Just be there before 11:30. If you are driving and would like to park by my apartment instead of paying for hard to find parking by the field let me know and we can take the bus to the game together.
BEFORE THE GAME:
METRA
9am Crystal Lake arriving at Irving Park 10:05
10am Crystal Lake arriving at Irving Park 11:05
COST $5.65

AFTER THE GAME:
In order to get to the Metra station you must take the Irving Park Bus #80 westbound. It is about a 15 min ride from Irving Park Rd. and Clark which is just north of Wrigley Field. You get off at the Irving Park Blue line stop and then walk under the expressway to the Metra Platform.
COST $2 (no change on bus)

The Metra schedule has 2 trains that go to Crystal Lake after the game.
METRA
6:03 arriving to Crystal Lake at 7:20
6:43 arriving to Crystal Lake at 7:58
COST $5.65

I will be taking the train back to Crystal Lake so if you would like to just follow me after the game that is fine as well. I gotta have a few at Bernies first though!

A couple of comments:
1. If we are going to try and sit together, you need to get to the game at ~11:30. The gates open at 11:50.

2. Gary's group is sitting in the bleachers with us.

3. I still have extra tickets, so if anyone wants one let me know ASAP as I will need to sell them if they aren't claimed.

-T.
