The Midwest Baseball Corridor
Wrigley Field, then Milwaukee, St. Louis and Kansas City — four classic ballparks strung along the interstates of the Midwest.
The honest status: our current schedule data has no window where every stop on this route is home at once — so this page is the route itself: the stops, the distances and the venue guides. When the fixtures line up, the window appears here and in the Trip Finder. Nothing below invents a date.
The route

| 4 | Kansas City Royals Major League Baseball | Kauffman Stadium Kansas City, Missouri | ≈233 mi from Busch Stadium (straight line) |
Distances are straight-line, computed from the venues' map coordinates — road trips run longer.
Stop by stop
Wrigley Field — Chicago Cubs
🏟️ Opened 1914 · Capacity 41,649 · Grass · Open air
The second-oldest park in the majors - the Cubs have played here since 1916, beneath the famous ivy-covered outfield walls.
Take the CTA Red Line to Addison — the ballpark is just a half block west of the station, and the Cubs themselves push fans toward public transit because parking in Wrigleyville is so limited.

American Family Field — Milwaukee Brewers
🏟️ Opened 2001 · Capacity 41,900 · Grass · Retractable roof
Most fans drive and tailgate in the lots ringing the park off I-94; without a car, the MCTS CONNECT 1 BRT to Wisconsin Avenue is the transit option, with about a 15-minute walk from the stop.
