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,
