The "nightmare" is during commute hours because there are more people who want to use the trains than there are seats on the trains. Also, parking at the stations is woefully inadequate and there is no feasible public transit from the neighborhoods to the station.
The trains are quick, clean and efficient and very reasonably priced. Do not drive to Wrigley Field. Traffic in the "Wrigleyville" area on game days is a horror and parking is worse. Plus the cops just love arresting people full of beer driving away from the park. Get off the train at Union Station walk east to the Wabash Avenue el and go north to Addison Street. The park is right there. If you are a Sox fan take the same el south to 35th Street. Have as much fun as you want, and by the time the train gets you back home, you'll be dried out enough to drive safely from the station to your house.
Chicago is the greatest. You'll love it here.
