Don't advertise that you're a tourist on the L after the sun goes down. I don't know if Ricketts has changed the policy but if you can get a camera with a 75-300mm in there, you'll get some great photos no matter where you sit. I sat in the RF cheap seats over a decade ago. I loved being there earlier to watch BP and see the people flow in from the train stop.
I have friends who've done taken the train to Milwaukee after a Cubs night game and despite being in their 20s was on edge the whole time. 20 years ago I'd fly in from Florida with a buddy for Bears games. We were approached outside of our hotel near Soldier Field and had to delicately walk through what would've been a bad situation alone. You should be good taking the L out of Wrigley when the game lets out.
I can't believe I didn't connect Family Night to the show! I've been a STH for 25 years and have done both it and training camps in Bourbannais & Plattevile. If your goal would be to see what everyone is talking about with the UFO, go just for looking at all of the historical stuff inside of the old stadium. Then take the whiplashing look inside the seating bowl. You'll see why a lot of us can't wait for the new stadium! Family night is geared at families who do not want to spend the money for even the most discounted preseason tickets. (Bears home games have 4-5 "classes" of pricing.) I doubt Johnson shows much. IIRC, Lovie, Nagy, and Eberlose ran the same vanilla "big plays" for the cameras.
I should lose my tickets for saying this but if you want to go to a really fun family night, find a way to get to Green Bay for their's that Saturday night. I grew up close and my grandpa shared ST with a buddy until he died (the summer of the Favre trade). Lambeau isn't as great as it once was (though they still market it that way) since all of the homes were turned until corporate housing. All of those houses they showed during the draft...coporate/AirBnB. They maintained the feel of the original cement and aluminum simplicity.
