Wrigleyville in October without a ballgame is usually empty, and this is the day the plaza fills anyway. Gallagher Way runs eight hours of fall programming beside the ballpark, with college football on a video board big enough that the plaza works as an outdoor sports bar, plus a petting zoo and seasonal food vendors for anyone who came with kids. It also stacks easily with the neighborhood: the plaza sits at Clark and Addison, a block from the Red Line.
What to expect
An eight-hour plaza day rather than a scheduled show: animals to meet, seasonal food vendors, a live band, and college football on the large video board, with the Wrigleyville bars and restaurants around the edges of the plaza.
