<p>Do Northwestern students go to Cubs/Sox games or Bears games at all? I know at some other Chicago schools theres a discounted ticket rate, is there at Northwestern? Is it common that kids go to games?</p>
<p>someone told me there was discount tickets for NU students on certain days for cubs games. i know for sure the Apr 16-18 games were discounted. there are more but idk. calling for sam lee</p>
<p>we just had a "nu day at wrigley field" and basically students went to the baseball game for a discounted price (subsidized by alumni and some other association) and got free t shirts too. people in my dorms went to some games earlier this year too</p>
<p>For many students - going to Wrigley is a rite of passage for Spring.</p>
<p>Not as many Sox fans and most baseball fans w/o a Chicago allegiance prefer the ambiance of Wrigley and the surrounding neighborhood (plus, Wrigley is considerably easier/closer to get to).</p>
<p>Bears tix, generally, are much more difficult to get.</p>
<p>There are also often organized trips (thru various organizations) to Churchill Downs, the Indy 500 and March Madness games (Chicago or Indy).</p>
<p>wrigley is ~20 minutes away on the el, really easy trip from campus, the el stations are throughout campus, never more than a two minute walk, and wrigley is right off of the addison stop.</p>
<p>soldier field is a little bit more difficult.</p>
<p>No discounted tickets or anything like that though? I'm from the area so I know how hard it is to get certain tix for certian games, but I've heard about discounted tickets for students...maybe it wasn't true though.</p>
<p>what about Bulls games?
The Bulls have become my new favorite team in the NBA since I'm coming to Northwestern.</p>
