A typical Chicago Cubs game lasts about 3 hours, but including travel and pre-game activities, plan for 4-5 hours total.

Estimated Duration: 4 hours

Attending a Chicago Cubs game at Wrigley Field usually involves the game itself (around 3 hours), plus time for arriving early, security checks, concessions, and potential extra innings or delays. Including travel to and from the stadium, you should allocate 4-5 hours for the full experience. Factors like traffic, parking, and post-game activities may extend this time. Weekday games often run slightly shorter than weekend games. For the best experience, arrive at least 30-60 minutes before first pitch to soak in the atmosphere.
