Service to/from various sporting events at the United Center and Soldier Field; Weekend work to temporarily impact the Blue Line
Travel with CTA to Soldier Field to cheer on the Chicago Fire at their home opener game this Saturday, plus other exciting events all week long! Customers can save money by purchasing an unlimited rides pass, either the 1-Day ($5) – far more economical and convenient than the price of gas and parking - or the 3-Day ($15) pass – a real budget-saving move.
