I'm planning a trip to Chicago. On the last day, I hope to take a daytrip to Milwaukee and catch a Brewers game to see Miller Park (via Amtrak). Flying home from Milwaukee is much more expensive than Chicago.

Unfortunately there is a time issue. Game time is 1:05 and the last flight out of Chicago is 7:40 unless I take a more expensive flight. The 3PM train gets to Union Station at 4:30 and the 5:45 train gets me there at 7:15. The latter gives me very little time to get to the airport.

How much time do I realistically need to go from Union Station to Midway to catch a flight?

According to google, it's about a 10 minute drive from Miller Park to Amtrak but how is the public transportation? Is there a bus or train I can take or will I need a cab? If there is a bus, will they be operating during the game or only before and after?

My other options are pay more money to get a later flight out of Chicago or a lot more to fly out of Milwaukee.

Any advice is welcome!
