*NOTE: due to inclement weather, Game 4 of the NLDS has been rescheduled from 4:38 p.m. Tuesday, October 10 to 3:08 p.m. Wednesday, October 11. The following information has been updated to reflect this change.
CTA is a convenient and the most affordable transit option for fans heading to Wrigley Field for Cubs playoff games.
