Additional Information
With the back-to-back games scheduled this weekend, the team is encouraging all fans to be in their seats at least 30 minutes prior to each first pitch.
To help alleviate congestion in both the parking lots and at the gates, here are some reminders:
- Gates open 90 minutes before the games. Fans are encouraged to enter the ballpark early during the Wintrust Crosstown Series as long lines can be expected the closer to first pitch.
- Parking lots open three hours before the start of the Crosstown games. All parking transactions are conducted with official staff within the parking lots and NOT prior to entry or outside of any parking lot. Fans can visit whitesox.com/parking for more information about parking and for directions to their designated parking lot.
- Prepaid parking passes also can be purchased at whitesox.com/parking and are accepted at parking lots located on the north side of the ballpark – Lots A, B, C, and G. Day-of-game parking is available in the Credit/Debit Lots – F and L – located south of the ballpark.
- White Sox standard parking lots may fill to capacity. Fans may be redirected to nearby overflow lots adjacent to the ballpark. Free shuttle service to and from the overflow lots will be provided. Public transportation and ridesharing are recommended. Fans can plan ahead by visiting whitesox.com/transportation for more information about how to get to the ballpark.
- Guaranteed Rate Field is cashless. Fans who are holding cash and do not have credit cards can purchase White Sox gift cards at retail locations or at the Chicago Sports Depot.
As always, we will have you covered both here and on social media @SoxOn35th with more information.
