Serious question regarding parking. Not big on the thought of forking out $60 parking. Any insight appreciated. Got to meet up with a buddy at 10 am. He is coming up from Lafayette, IN and I from Milwaukee.

Not opposed to walking a mile, just have no idea how far West to park since it is been longer than a decade since I've been to Wrigley Field (Cubs game). Back then I parked at Skokie and took the yellow line to red line down to Addison station which was quite convenient. Post covid service, I have no idea if I should trust train service or do the car, park and walk.
If I do the park and walk. What cross streets would be helpful so as to not get a ticket.
 
Trains are fine and really almost the easiest...certainly the cheapest.

If you park near Wrigley, the Cubs Toyota lot is indeed like $60 (it is for Cubs games at least). There are other people that park nearby where it is $25 or $30.

You can park at Navy Pier ($25 for the day I believe)...take a free trolley if it is running to the Red Line which will take you right to Wrigley.

The Cubs have a lot as well that has a shuttle service...I thought it was at least less expensive.

Thanks. Checking the Cubs remote lot and shuttle (not sure if it is running football gameday).
 
I lived in Chicago and suburbs for 20 years. Park in Wilmette or Evanston and take the CTA to Howard and then transfer across the platform to the Red line at Howard. That will take you to Addison (Wrigley - one block away.) Takes about 25 minutes.
