The Way to Really Fly to the Game - a photo on Flickriver

The Way to Really Fly to the Game

            "The Way to Really Fly" was an old slogan of Metra's.  The Metra Schaumburg Station is immediately south of Wintrust Field.  The weeknight schedules are very convenient from Chicago.  The Sunday schedules a little bit less so.  You have to take the 10:30 am departure from Union Station, which will get you into Schaumburg about 11:20, 40 minutes before the gates open.

Still it's a good way for Chicago residents to get to the game and I've always seen at least a few Boomers fans using it.
