whitehseI have had the good fortune to grow up in the Chicago area and went to many games at old Comiskey as well as Wrigley and County Stadium in Milwaukee. It is kinda funny in that as I grew up I only saw ball games in these old ballparks and always wanted to go to a "new" stadium to experience what a new stadium was like. Well I eventually went to Cincinnati and saw a game at Riverfront stadium. Give me the old ballparks anytime. 
I did have the good fortune of working in the front office for the Chicago Cubs for 7 years. Many times they did not have a security guard show up for the overnight shift and I would volunteer just for the sheer joy of sitting in the upper deck and watching the sun come up over the lake and filling the old ball park with that early morning sunlight! That was the best time in my life and a experience I will never ever forget.
I remember a few years ago I think it was Visa that ran a commercial about stepping onto Fenway park in the morning and feeling the dew from the grass on your feet....Priceless. I thought to myself that I was a lucky bastard that I had that same experience at Wrigley and being the only one in the ballpark made my knees kinda week. I remember standing at home plate and just thought of all the history layed out before me. These were the dreams of my youth that actually came true. I am one lucky bastard!
