Bag storage at the verified venues

United Center: Binbox provides locker rentals and bag check at the Uber Zone entrance, near the corner of Madison Street and Wood Street. The arena says Binbox lockers are the only approved storage option for bags, both inside and outside the United Center.

Soldier Field: Gameday lockers are available for prohibited items at two locations. One is on the north side at the Field Museum East Terrace, inside the Miller Lite tailgate area near McFetridge Drive. The other is on the south side at the 18th Street turnaround, just west of DuSable Lake Shore Drive. The fee is 10 dollars, credit card only.

Wrigley Field: The Cubs do not offer large bag or luggage storage, and no personal item storage, so plan accordingly. The free bike valet takes bikes and personal motorized scooters, and it also holds strollers that do not fit under the seat.

Allstate Arena: The guide describes no bag storage. Fans must return items that are not permitted to their vehicle.

New Ryan Field: The page describes no bag storage. Strollers go to designated stroller parking.

Six Flags Great America: All-day lockers are available just inside the front gate in front of the restroom on the left.
