Wrigley Field Lost and Found

by Holy Cow on Apr 30, 2008 9:24 AM CDT Comment 15 comments

So I left a backpack at last night's game. Does anyone know a phone number I could call security at, all of the numbers on the website lead to dead ends? I need to talk to an actual human being. Has anyone had success with a similar experience, leaving something at the park? It would be nice to get my backpack and mittens back.

You should call guest relations would probably be the best start

773-404-2827 and ask for customer relations

But seriously I hope you get your gear back.

Left a voicemail

with some lady in park customer relations. I hope she calls me back. Is there like a lost and found bin or did my stuff become a souvenir of the cleaning crew?

There is a lost & found.

If someone working at the park found your stuff, they’ll hold it for you. If not… you might be out of luck. Hope you get it back.

Going tonight

so just ask someone at the gate about it?

Yes.

Ask one of the security supervisors if you can find them—they’re the ones wearing shirts and ties.

Out-of-towner question.....

They let you bring backpacks into the ballpark? I’ve been to a number of events in recent years in other cities where they turn you away if you have a bag of any sort.

In any case, good luck, Holy Cow – sometimes these things do work out, amazingly enough.

Yes, you can bring a backpack in.

They’ll ask to look inside. As long as you don’t bring in any cans or bottles they won’t have a problem with it.

You can do that...

... IF it’s in a SEALED plastic bottle (as it says below).
