Luggage storage and bag rules at McCormick Place

Visitors to Mccormick Place often arrive with a bag that event rules won’t let through the door, so knowing where to leave one before you reach the convention centre saves a wasted trip.

Getting there is easy by Metra or the Green Line, both of which drop you within a short walk of the halls. Soldier Field, just nearby, runs its own bag check on event days for oversized bags, while the Chicago Loop offers no official left-luggage provision at all. Expect that your bags or packages may be inspected when you enter or leave the venue. During events, you can use the on-site coat check and baggage storage at Gate 4 in the South Building or at the Transportation Center in the West Building. The availability and locations of coat and baggage check services depend on the specific event schedule. Mccormick Place is located in Chicago's South Loop neighbourhood. With Stasher, you can store bags from $2.49 per bag per day.

There's no strict size limit, though prices can vary with bag size. Every booking comes with the Stasher Guarantee, which protects your bags up to US$13,000. Stasher storage in Chicago can be booked through the website or app.

Getting to McCormick Place with luggage

The most direct rail link is the Metra Electric District line, which stops inside the Grand Concourse on Level 2.5 and reaches downtown Chicago in about seven minutes. The CTA Green Line's Cermak-McCormick Place station is only two blocks from the West Building's northwest corner, a short walk even with a suitcase.

The CTA #3 King Drive bus also serves the campus, stopping at 2301 S. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive between the main building entrances, and Gate 40 on S. Indiana Ave is a designated pick-up and drop-off point for rideshare services.

Nearby sights: Soldier Field and the Loop

Soldier Field's bag policy lets the stadium itself operate a bag check during major events for anything too large to bring inside, so you can still attend even with a bag that breaks the rules. Roosevelt Station on the Red, Green, and Orange Lines is a three-quarter-mile walk to the stadium entrance.

The Chicago Loop, the city's central business district, draws visitors for its architecture, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Riverwalk, and its theatre district. The neighbourhood itself provides no official luggage storage or left-luggage facilities, so a bag you can't bring into a museum or theatre there means finding another way to handle it. Beyond game days, Soldier Field also hosts concerts and festivals in a lakefront parkland setting.
