America's Game: Midwest MLB Fourth
Baseball was born for moments like this. Start in Milwaukee, follow the Cubs into Wrigley for the greatest rivalry in the National League, and be there on July 4th — the 250th anniversary of American independence — for a night game at one of the most iconic ballparks in the world. Then choose your adventure: take the train north to Target Field in Minneapolis, or stay in Chicago for a South Side doubledown at Guaranteed Rate Field.

July 4th at Wrigley Field on America's 250th birthday — Cubs vs Cardinals, the greatest rivalry in the National League, in the most iconic ballpark in the country. This is baseball the way the founders would have wanted it.
You don't need a car. The Amtrak Hiawatha gets you to Milwaukee in 90 minutes for under $40, and if you extend north to Minneapolis, the Borealis delivers you there with Mississippi River views and a cold beer in hand.
Four cities, five ballparks, one week — and every single game matters. This is the heart of America, the heart of the AL Central and NL Central, and the heart of summer baseball.
