We found it was difficult, no -nearly impossible to:
A) locate Wrigley Field
A) locate Wrigley Field
B) find a parking place
C) find a public restroom.
Finally, Brian spotted a sign which read: "Wrigley Field" with an arrow pointing to our left. We were actually in the correct lane for a left turn, so we turned and there it was - Wrigley Field!
It was worth it. Worth getting lost in Chicago, worth the almost wrong way turn onto the One Way street and worth all the honks directed our way. We were surprised by it- we are used to ballparks which are easy to spot and which have huge parking areas. We liked how this ballpark seemed to be tucked away in this little neighborhood. We liked how people were walking up to it, pointing to the signs and taking pictures. It seemed to be PART of this neighborhood, and that just seemed right to us.
After this little adventure, we decided when we returned to downtown Chicago with Jordan, we would take the train!
Oh, and even after a trip into a neighborhood Starbucks, we still had not found a public restroom!

As one who has lived in Chicago for three years, I'm glad you had a great time!
Yeah, public restrooms and parking are pretty hard to come by here. The next time you go, give me a heads up, I know where pubic restrooms are in nearly every neighborhood of the city (even Wrigleyville)!
Having never driven in the city, taking the "el" would be the best way to live and experience all of Chicago the next time you go.
I mean, you'll still "get lost" but in a good way!
Keep Rockin',
