Addison directly serves Wrigley Field, home of Major League Baseball's Chicago Cubs.

The station is within the shadow of the historic baseball stadium, which was built with convenient access to the "L" in mind.

Purple Line weekday rush hour express service use the outside tracks but do not stop at this station.

Chicago artist Steve Musgrave has several murals featuring Cubs legends on display at the Addison station, which he adopted as part of the CTA's Adopt-A-Station program in 1998.
