This was my third time to Wrigley but first in 15 years. My wife expected a bit more out of it but i enjoyed it. It was interesting that they still used the old scoreboard. It was great to think of all the events that had happen there. Now I want to see Fenway!

Sean, you may not know it, but one of your dining experiences was also card related. The Bennigan's where you ate is in the People's Gas Bldg on South Michigan, where Felix Mendelsohn had his offices during the time he came up with m101-4, m101-5 and m101-6.

(Maybe I should have posted this in the "you know you're a card junkie when.." thread, as it was the first thing I thought of when you listed Bennigan's).

Thats awesome! I currently collect m101-4's and I noticed a lot of the doors and windows seemed old. Very neat!

I went to this stadium last year at the National and was severely disappointed. Mostly because the seats fit half a human and legroom is nil and the angle is weird to actually watch the game.

But, if you like commercials being blasted at you at full volume between every pitch, this is a great place to see a game.

Wow, so many cynics here... I guess my romanticism is based on early childhood experiences, but the history there keeps me going back and I never once thought I was sitting in anything other than a shrine to baseball. I guess church pews aren't that comfy either, so if you are not really into the Cubs or the history, I could see where it might pale in comparison to the faux-aged, sushi-selling, municipally built horrors that are modern stadiums, but give me Wrigley or Fenway, give me the old Tiger Stadium, which was horrible and a wonderful place to watch a ball-game. Give me Comiskey, the old Comiskey which was as crappy as Tiger stadium, but just as fun, just less fans than the North-side. Wrigley may be a relic, but so are the stupid pieces of card-board I collect and cherish...

Cheers,

Jim

Lol I guess you got to be a Sox fax to like the park. The food at the Cell is amazing though, and I also love the fact the games are almost never sold out, so I get plenty of room in the nose bleed section, especially since I hate being cramped next to complete strangers unless they are hot women. I also love the wonderful view of the Chicago skyline from nose bleed right field. But I am mostly there to watch my Sox.
