If you're not using a paid lot, where are the best street parking spots for Welsh Ryan???
The lot at the Central St. el station (costs just a few dollars via the passport app) 2000 feet north of the stadium is worth a try. If healthy, even with the walk your time commitment is the about same as the stadium lot — you don't get stuck in traffic before/after the game. If your health precludes that walk, call Northwestern: I'm sure they'll help you get a pass in the lot across the street. With one or two exceptions, passes are probably still publicly available.

You can normally find parking on streets just south of Ryan Field. I marked up something from Apple Maps. The red is RF and the yellow are streets you can park on for free. Just make sure to read the signs.

I don’t think that is the case anymore. I could be mistaken, but I think Evanston has basically eliminated all of this street parking on event days.

I thought that was only on the Wilmette side? I parked where I highlighted several times last year.
I could not park there for some of the early season basketball games. Everything is pretty much signed off west of the river. I ended up parking by the golf course on Lincoln east of the bridge.
