About

First and foremost, it should be noted that this website is not intended for avid baseball enthusiasts seeking information on games scheduled for today. Instead, this site primarily focuses on home games at Wrigley Field. The purpose of this website is to serve as a resource for Chicago residents who are not particularly interested in baseball but are affected by the inconveniences that large events such as Cubs games can cause, such as traffic congestion and service disruptions.

This website may prove useful if:

• You reside near Wrigley Field and want to be aware of potential neighborhood disturbances, such as litter and debris.
• Your daily commute takes you through Lakeview by car, bike, or public transportation, and you would like to plan accordingly to avoid traffic or parking challenges.
• You are planning to visit cultural or culinary establishments in Wrigleyville and would like to anticipate potential wait times or navigate the neighborhood efficiently.
• You prefer to adjust your work schedule to avoid conflicts or disruptions caused by Cubs games.
• You dislike baseball, litter, intoxicated individuals, street fights, or slow-moving crowds, and would like to avoid these elements.
• You are weary of navigating through congested Wrigleyville without prior warning.
• This site provides game start times, as the level of disruption varies between day and night games. Disruptions typically begin about two hours prior to a game. Early and afternoon games result in prolonged neighborhood congestion, while evening games mainly affect late-night Wrigleyville.

The website’s schedule is updated daily. Please understand that last-minute schedule changes or delays may occur. This website and the subsequent Twitter account are updated simultaneously once a day at 8 or 9 am central time. This site was established in April, 2023.

Future updates may include events such as concerts at Wrigley Field, but updates will cease at the end of each season and resume the following spring.

While this site remains neutral regarding baseball, our aim is to elevate our fondness for the Lakeview neighborhood and its many attractions. We hope to help users enjoy the area without the inconveniences associated with game days.
