Participants need to assemble along the Waveland (North) and Sheffield (East) sides of Wrigley, which will be blocked for this purpose. Exit the Addison Red Line station, proceed west to Sheffield (the first street west of the train station). Assembly time is 1:00 PM. There is not a formal line up as teams that needs to be done, everyone will just come into the stadium as one large family, arrange to meet your group if you want to march in together.

All badged Gay Games participants should plan to arrive at Wrigley Field with plenty of time to assemble outside the stadium in advance of the 3 pm processional. We recommend that you schedule your arrival no later than 1:30 pm. Waveland (north of Wrigley Field) and Sheffield (east of Wrigley Field) will be closed to traffic. The participant processional is intentionally mixed - participants will enter the stadium mixed to represent unity. You may wear backpacks. Please note that no poles or sticks may be carried into the Closing Ceremony so any small banners must be hand carried. Entry will be from the north and east side of the stadiuim from the staging areas. Participants will cross the field in designated areas and take their seats in the stadium. At the conclusion of the ceremony participants will exit normally with the rest of the spectators.
