One City. Two Ballparks. One Legendary Rivalry.
The Crosstown Classic is the annual showdown between the Chicago Cubs and the Chicago White Sox, a series that splits games between Wrigley Field on the North Side and Rate Field on the South Side and turns the entire city into one long argument about which team owns Chicago. The Cubs bring the ivy, the rooftop clubs on Sheffield Avenue, and more than a century of National League tradition. The White Sox bring the exploding scoreboard at 35th and Shields, Bridgeport pride, and the grit of three World Series championships. Whether the series is at Clark and Addison or at 35th and Shields this week, Stop & Go Airport Shuttle Service, Inc. picks your group up at the door and delivers you to either ballpark in comfort and on time.

A Crosstown Classic, One Great Ride
The Crosstown Classic is a full Chicago story. Two teams, two ballparks, two neighborhoods, and one city that takes all of it seriously. Stop & Go Airport Shuttle Service, Inc. is the transportation company that serves both sides.
The Crosstown Classic: Chicago's Greatest Baseball Rivalry
The Crosstown Classic is one of professional sports' most uniquely urban rivalries, built not on geography but on a single city carrying two baseball identities at once. Cubs fans and White Sox fans have lived side by side for generations, argued across family tables, and worn their colors to work. Every summer, when the two teams meet in interleague play, those loyalties move off the barstools and onto the field. For Chicagoans who care about either team, the Crosstown Classic is the one series each year when every game feels personal, and every inning gets watched.
The two ballparks at the center of this rivalry are as different from each other as the neighborhoods they anchor. Wrigley Field, built in 1914 at Clark and Addison, earned National Historic Landmark status and draws fans from around the world to see the ivy-covered outfield walls, the hand-operated scoreboard, and the rooftop clubs facing the outfield from Sheffield Avenue. Rate Field, built in 1991 at 35th and Shields, carries the unmistakable identity of a South Side neighborhood that has supported this franchise through more than a century of baseball, with Bridgeport's deep-rooted restaurants and bars as part of the game day tradition. Experiencing both in the same summer series is a Chicago sports experience unlike anything else.
Stop & Go Airport Shuttle Service, Inc. covers both venues and both neighborhoods for every Crosstown Classic game. Our chauffeurs know the Kennedy Expressway and the Wrigleyville drop-off lanes. They know the Dan Ryan Expressway and the Bridgeport staging areas around Rate Field. No matter which side of the city the series lands on any given night, we have the routing, the timing, and the experience to get your group to the gates and bring everyone home after the final out. We are proud to offer what we believe is the best chauffeured transportation service available for the Crosstown Classic in all of Chicagoland.

Why Chicagoland Groups Choose a Party Bus for the Crosstown Classic
When the Crosstown Classic runs games at both Wrigley Field and Rate Field in the same series, you are navigating two different ballpark neighborhoods on the same trip. A party bus solves every logistics problem before you leave your driveway.
Four Reasons It Works Better Than Driving
-
✓
Nobody draws the short straw for driving
Your whole group celebrates, drinks responsibly, and enjoys the rivalry without anyone sitting out the fun as the designated driver.
-
✓
Skip parking at two different ballparks
Wrigley Field and Rate Field both have congested, expensive game-day parking situations. We drop your group at the gates at either park. No fees. No walking six blocks.
-
✓
The rivalry starts before first pitch
Premium sound, LED lighting, and room to celebrate means the Crosstown energy starts the moment you board, not when you find your seat.
-
✓
Post-game pickup is already arranged
No waiting in a gridlocked lot while Addison Street or the Dan Ryan backs up. Your chauffeur stages at a pre-arranged meeting point and is ready to move at the final out.
Planning Your Crosstown Classic Night
The Crosstown Classic runs games at both Wrigley Field and Rate Field in the same series, which means if your group is attending multiple games, you are navigating two completely different ballpark neighborhoods on the same trip. Wrigleyville and Bridgeport each have their own game-day parking reality, their own congestion patterns, and their own post-game traffic flow. Having a chauffeur who knows both removes every variable that makes a multi-game series more complicated than it needs to be.
A Crosstown Classic game day with us typically looks like this: pickup at your door anywhere in Chicagoland, an optional pre-game stop in Wrigleyville or Bridgeport depending on which park is hosting tonight, the game itself, and wherever your group decides to go after the final out. A bar in the neighborhood, a late dinner somewhere else in the city, or straight home. We build the schedule around your group.
We serve both sides of the Chicago sports divide and every corner of Chicagoland for Crosstown Classic transportation: Evanston, Highland Park, Wilmette, and Waukegan on the North Shore; Naperville, Aurora, Schaumburg, and Arlington Heights in the west and northwest suburbs; Orland Park, Tinley Park, New Lenox, and Joliet in the southwest; and every city neighborhood from Hyde Park to Logan Square to Andersonville.

Six Things That Happen Before You Reach the Ballpark
A great Crosstown Classic ride does not happen by accident. Here is everything we handle from the moment you book to the moment we drop you at the gates, whichever side of the city that is tonight.
You book and your rate locks
Crosstown Classic pricing, confirmed
Online or by phone in about two minutes. The moment you confirm, your flat rate is locked for the game and any stops on your itinerary. No surge pricing. No adjustments based on which ballpark is hosting.
We confirm your game-day details
Which park, first pitch time, pickup route
The day before the game, our team confirms your pickup address, timing, group size, and any stops. We build your departure window around the first pitch time with buffer for the Kennedy or the Dan Ryan, depending on tonight's venue.
Your vehicle is prepared and the route is loaded
Drop-off and post-game staging pre-planned at the right park
The assigned vehicle is detailed, inspected, and climate-set before your pickup. Your chauffeur pre-loads the correct expressway routing and the specific drop-off and post-game staging point for whichever ballpark is hosting tonight.
Your chauffeur arrives early
10 to 15 minutes ahead of your departure time
Standard is 10 to 15 minutes before your scheduled departure. Your chauffeur is there when your group is still getting ready, not the other way around.
The ride runs on your schedule
Wrigleyville bar, Bridgeport dinner, the game. Your call.
Your chauffeur handles the route, the traffic, and any timing adjustments. A Wrigleyville bar stop on Clark Street or a Bridgeport dinner stop before the game, straight to the gates, or a stop on the way home. We adapt to what your group wants.
Post-game pickup, everyone home safe
Pre-staged away from the worst congestion at either park
After the final out, your chauffeur is at the pre-arranged meeting point, away from the worst congestion on Addison Street or near the Dan Ryan lots. Your group is rolling while others are still waiting.

Flat-Rate Pricing
Locked at booking
Your rate is confirmed when you book, whether the game is at Wrigley Field or Rate Field. No meter running. No surge pricing. No surprise fees. The same flat rate applies to any Crosstown Classic game in the series. Gratuity is not included but is always appreciated.
