Take Metra to the Game

Pro and college sports are back, and Metra can make sure you don’t miss a minute of the action. Whether it’s football, hockey or hoops, here’s how Metra can get you to the game.

Getting to Soldier Field is easy. If you’re coming from the south, take the Metra Electric Line and exit at the 18th Street Station, just a short distance from the stadium. Fans coming into downtown can catch the No. 128 Soldier Field Express bus at either Ogilvie Transportation Center or Union Station. The bus starts two hours before the game and runs for an hour afterward. Bear Down!

To catch the Bulls or Blackhawks, catch the No. 19 United Center Express Bus  that connects with our Millennium Station, Ogilvie Center and Union Station. Bus service begins 90 minutes before game time and runs for up to an hour after the game.

To see Big 10 football and men’s and women’s basketball, take the Union Pacific North line up to Northwestern’s Ryan Field and Welsh-Ryan Arena. Both are just a short walk from our Evanston Central Street station. Go Cats!
