As someone who once tried to take public transit to a DePaul game, I agree public transportation to the game would be terrible. It would be a lot easier for driving to the game though. Just the traffic from a full AllState Arena event is a catastrophe on that exit. A full Cubs game would be twice as many people, which means much worse than twice as much traffic on the local roads. There are about two cities in the country this is true of (excluding young, very low density cities). One has a view of the Statue of Liberty, the other has a view of Alcatraz. I've never seen either of those from Chicago. I certainly wasn't complaining when I spent the last six years living a couple of blocks from the Main Street Purple Line station, despite being in the suburbs. And it's a density issue. Maybe there's a place in the core suburbs that makes sense and has good travel options for that amount of traffic (I don't know), but anywhere you put it, you won't see people from both the Indiana counties and Kenosha having an easy time getting there.
