Pros: The ivy, the location, the manual scoreboard Cons: Parking is a hassle; poor quality of baseball, accessibility could be better.
Last week, on Memorial Day, I was invited to a Cubs Suite with my wife. Naturally, I accepted immediately. My wife had not been in Wrigley Field for years and wanted to tour the area and the facility. Both are part of the great charm of Wrigley Field. ...
Pros: A Great Old-Time Ball Park Cons: Parking is Difficult
Even though it's been nearly 13 years since lights were place at Wrigley Field, I still believe in day baseball. Day baseball is Wrigley Field at it's finest! The first night game was played in August, 1988 and the Cubs luck continued. That game was...
Pros: It is a true shrine for baseball fans Cons: Leaky and cranky
The first sport I played and learned to love was baseball. I was taken to my first game about three decades ago when I was only 7 years old. I got to see Hank Aaron play at Veteran Stadium in his final season with the Braves. At the ti ...
Pros: Fans Close to Field; Manual Scoreboard; The Ivy; The Place IS Baseball Cons: The Lights
I lived on the South Side but, being a National League fan, frequented Wrigley, not Comiskey. I was a Giants fan, but after a few games at Wrigley, grew to love the Cubs as well. Being a Giants fan is a lot like being a Cubs fan. Steve Goodman, the...
Pros: Ambiance, natural grass, the best place in the world to watch a ballgame! Cons: Parking, some seats are behind columns.
When I was a child I loved the Chicago Cubs. I never missed a televised game from the ages of 6 to 12. I've had many opportunities to visit this vintage stadium, so I thought I'd give you my impression of this "poignant slice of Americana" (Phrase...
Pros: Great baseball atmosphere, a must-visit for any true baseball fan Cons: Inconvenient ramps, few restrooms, post-game L-train experience
When your team hasn't won squat since 1908, you have to find other things to brag about, and that is exactly what Chicago Cubs fans have in Wrigley Field. Words cannot do justice to it; it is a true gem.
Pros: Cozy and simple, historic, nostalgic feelings it generates, Friendly and knowledgable fans, reasonably priced concessions, true baseball experience, many day games, great public transportation to get there, Sosa's 520 foot homerun Cons: Pop music, not much information on scoreboard, some shirtless guys who are not a pretty sight, Sosa's 520 foot homerun
The north Chicago area surrounded by Addison, Clark, Waveland Ave, and Sheffield was once a seminary. In 1914 Wrigley Field took over this spot, and it is still hallowed ground.
The Friendly Confines remains a special cathedral for baseball....
Pros: One of baseball's true remaining links to its past glory. Cons: Parking.Cold in the early spring.
In Boston, the city fathers are determined to tear down Fenway Park and "replace" it with a New Fenway Park across the block. No such madness grips the guardians of baseball's other crown jewel. Wrigley Field , the picture perfect home of the...
Pros: Great History and always fun even when we lose Cons: Wind blowing in..Hard to park anywhere near..
Take me out to the ball game take me out to the crowd....
I remember the first time my father took me to a game at Wrigley..I was only 7 I believe and it got me hooked on the cubbies and baseball...No ball park in my opinion has more...
Pros: Old-time baseball atmosphere that's unmatched by most other ballparks. Cons: No place to park; home team are perennial losers.
Wrigley Field is a shrine, not only to baseball but also to the city of Chicago. Soon it will be the oldest baseball field in the Majors (after Fenway is tore down). Words can't describe the feeling of walking up the ramp toward the seats and catching...
Pros: wonderful, historic atmosphere Cons: the Cubs pitching....
The atmosphere of Wrigley field (dubbed "The Friendly Confines" by a local radio announcer)is truly a one of a kind experience that is not to be missed by any true baseball fan. I am fortunate to live close enough to Wrigley to visit a few...
Pros: Amazing time. A must see for baseball fans. Cons: It's not in the same city I live in. You might want to skip the kebasa
I just recently returned from a weekend getaway to Chicago for the sole purpose of catching the Dodgers playing the Cubs in Wrigley Field. I was lucky enough to have wound up being able to catch a double header, both of which were played during a...
Pros: Impossible to duplicate Cons: Nowhere to park
Wrigley Field is a mecca. There's no place like it in sports - any sport. Many sports fans travel to Wrigley Field just to experience baseball in its purest form. Growing up in Chicago, I had no idea just how wonderful it is, until I visited other ...
Pros: Built on tradition, filled with true baseball fans Cons: Seventh inning stretch is not the same without Harry Caray
I have many memories of watching Cubs games at Wrigley Field. As a child, my dad used to make Cubs games a weekend ritual. Whenever we were in town visiting family, my father and I would take the El train from the suburbs all the way downtown to watch...
Pros: sun, baseball as it used to be (mostly) Cons: parking, cubs winning percentage
Complete guide to day at Wrigley
Transportation: DO NOT DRIVE. The EL is an easy and fun way to get to the game. If you have to drive, park north of the Irving Park Road/Near Sheridan. Street parking is available and it is nice to walk south...
Pros: the cubs, its beautiful, great time, excellent experience Cons: hasn't hosted a World Series game in 55 years
Ah, Wrigley Field. The great place where baseball was truly born. The second oldest field in baseball, and perhaps the one with the most history. Take for example some of the great feats that have been set here. Many of Sammy Sosa's 66 and 63...
Pros: Unbelievable fans, party atmosphere, history, ambiance above all other parks Cons: Parking, getting to the game
I can honestly say that my trip to Wrigley Field was maybe the greatest day of my life. I have never been to a game that had the GENUINE old-time feel of the "Friendly Confines." My experience will be something I remember and cherish my whole life.
...
Pros: Nice party atmosphere for singles Cons: Antiquated facilities, horrible sightlines, inattentive fans.
I often wondered what is the allure of this run-down old stadium. You have to give the owners of the team credit though, they've brainwashed millions into thinking that it is a jewel. When fans are reminded of the "tradition" or "history" of Wrigley...
Pros: Exciting to be at Wrigley Field Cons: Trade they make of good players
My husband and I were married in 1945 and lived in Chicago not far from Wrigley Field. He was in the Navy, so we spent touring Chicago and Cubs baseball. Wrigley Field has not changed, it is the same baseball with Grand surroundings. I am a fan win or...
Pros: Nostalgia.....it's what baseball is all about! Cons: If you're a baseball fan.....None.
Even though in my heart I am a Dodger fan (I bleed Dodger Blue), the Chicago Cubs have something that the Dodgers don't have: Wrigley Field. Wrigley Field is what baseball is all about. The newer parks like the BankOne ballpark for the Arizona...
Pros: Most Beautiful Stadium on Earth Cons: parking...what parking?
Wrigley Field. As you can probably attest from my handle I am a bit biased in respect to the "Friendly Confines." Wrigley Field, built in 1914 is one of the most majestic Stadiums ever built. You will fall in love with it for many reasons. Its...
Ernie Banks is a true prophet...This place should be listed as a National Monument...You are walking around the Sheffield, Addison, Clark or Waveland Avenue and on one corner is a 7-11, another is a bar, another is a McDonalds, there is a small...
Pros: See below... Cons: Cubs are classic under-achievers
Wrigley Field is not just a ballpark, it is a state of mind. It's a place where luxury is extra cheese with your nachos, and cold frosty beer served in a plastic cup. It's a place where a man can take his shirt off without complaint. It's a place...
Pros: neat, outdoors, fun for all Cons: best to take the train, parking is a nightmare
I lived in Chicago for a few years and made it to a couple of Cubs games. First of all, Chicago is a real sports town and the most loyal fans! I grew up in Atlanta where fans have followed the Braves as long as they were winning but forgot them during...
Pros: Fun, great seats, ATMOSPHERE Cons: Hard to get tickets when the Cubs are actually winning, can be cold much of the season
OK, right up front, I must admit that I am addicted to Wrigley Field. I have spent a LOT of time there. In fact, during spring quarter my second year of college, I am pretty sure I spent more time there than in the classroom.
The home of many great cubbies, has been the most beloved ballpark, of all the Major League Baseball Parks. Over the years such greats, as those most recently; Ron Santo, Ernie Banks, Ryne Sanberg, have given thrills to the true baseball lover....
Pros: Great view of the game in any seat a great tour of the ballpark Cons: none that i know of
I went to watch the Chicago cubs play the New York Mets a little while back in 1999 with my father. It was my first game ever at Wrigley Field. I heard everywhere that Wrigley is one of the best stadiums in baseball to go to. I guess it has to be since...
Pros: Beautiful park, great surrounding eateries, lively and youthful atmosphere Cons: Bleacher seats are hard to come by, open only April to September!
If you are a tourist coming to Chicago for the summer, visiting Wrigley Field on a sunny afternoon is an absolute must! The el trains will take you straight to Addison and Sheffield, steps away from the park.
Pros: Atmosphere, Character, History Cons: Parking
This stadium has what every ball park wishes for... CHARACTER. Why have fans flocked to Wrigley Field to watch a game even though the Cubs were no good, and had a very small amount of star power for all of those years? Because you are guaranteed to...
Pros: Nostalgia abounds! The sights, the sounds, the smells of all that is Wrigley. Cons: I live 1700 miles away.
CHICAGO, IL. May 29, 1996. This was the first time I ever visited Wrigley Field. To say it was an eye opening experience is an understatement. I had become a Cubs fan in the mid-eighties when WGN was picked up by our local cable company. I used to...
Pros: The first MLB stadium to have a laugh track installed for home team antics. Cons: You might be a Cubs fan and thinking of this ballpark just makes you sob.
Wrigley Field was originally used as the home of the Federal League's Chicago Whales in the 1914 and 1915 seasons, which were the only years the Federal League existed. It was originally named Weeghman Park after the owner the Chicago Whales, ...
Pros: History, which looks as if it has been forgotten by the fanbase Cons: Food, Access, Sightlines, Fan atmosphere, Bathrooms, Roomyness, Comfort, Falling Concrete?.....etc
Well for starters my comment would that Wrigley is overrated from a normal baseball fan experience. One would think its a baseball stadium first, a place to watch a team play the national pastime. Well thats what i thought this classic stadium was about. ...
Pros: great view of the game. Great atmosphere. Cons: bad food. terrible restrooms.
Wrigley Field is an absolutely perfect park for watching baseball. The view is spectacular. All baseball fans should see a game there at least once in their lifetime. The park is small so you always feel like you're close to game even from the upper ...
Pros: Historical, old beauty at its best, good hot dogs Cons: no parking, lots of walking
Chicago, a town known by the one and only Wrigley Field; marks the spot where the Chicago Cubs call home and where Harry Carey shouted over the intercom for years and where many famous ball players made history of their own.
Pros: A great time had by all Cons: There are no cons. Even if the Cubs lose, you have fun.
I've been going to Wrigley Field since I was a little girl. I live only a few blocks away. It never gets old. Being a Cubs fan, while trying at times, is made worthwhile because of Wrigley Field.
Pros: Great view affordable tickets Cons: hard to get bleacher tickets
Me and a couple of friends just recently attended the Atlanta Braves and Cubs series. The first game we had bleacher seats, next we had right field line seats and then left field upper deck seats. This stadium is beautiful and old fashion. Yes theirs...
Pros: Not a bad seat in the house Cons: Price of Parking is very high (take the bus)
Is there any other Ballpark in Baseball better than Wrigley Field? I think not. Wrigley really comes into bloom around the start of June when the Ivy has grown full on the outfield wall and the seats are packed with fans.
Pros: beautiful, fans are awesome Cons: parking is bad
Wrigley Field is one of the true and pure things left in baseball today. It is one of the oldest living ballparks in baseball. When you see the new stadiums being built around the league, you can really tell how they are giving them an old time look....
Pros: historic, small, focus on the game Cons: cold (in early season), run down in parts, poor food selection
We spent spring break in Chicago. Of course, in the quest for all the baseball stadia, we had to see a game at venerable Wrigley Field. I'll put this caveat in right now, maybe we should have tried later in the year.
Pros: Seating near ball field, grass surface, bleachers Cons: Only a so so team
As a Cub fan my entire life, I have yet to witness a successful and winning team. But the real kick is not really having the greatest team, but in fact being able to enjoy a REAL baseball game.
Pros: Atmosphere, Atmosphere, Atmosphere Cons: Sometimes tickets (especially week-ends) are hard to get. Parking.
Wrigley field. This is what baseball is all about. This stadium is not your typical major league baseball park. This stadium gives you the feel of your local neighborhood ball park. Even in the upperdeck you get a great view of the field and players....
Pros: good fans, lots to do and see in area including game Cons: Parking could be better, food can be expensive
I recently saw my first Cubs game. I went back in June of this year. It was so much fun. There's just so much to do in and around the stadium. The stadium is so small that if you're not careful you might walk by it. This is definitely a ballpark...
Pros: excellent view of game, beautiful park Cons: seat access, parking
My son and I like to attend baseball games in various ballparks, with the ultimate goal being the completion of the major league circuit. This time, as he finished his finals, it was our turn to go to Wrigley Field with the rest of the family. Let me...
Wrigley Field is one of the greatest ballparks ever built. It has been home to the Chicago Cubs for more than 80 years. Its ivy-covered walls and non-mechanical scoreboard take you back to a simpler time - a time before homerun sluggers and...
For those of you who, like me, are not from the Middle West and who, like me before I had the chance to find out for myself, believe that the universal praise for Chicago's Wrigley Field...
Pros: great atmosphere, great scenery, great people, great neighborhood Cons: pretty bad food
I remember walking out of the concourse into the field of seats for the first time, and wanting to cry because of the beauty and sights around me. There is nothing like the first sight of this amazing field.
Is there anything better in professional sports than taking in a Cubs game in this beautiful old ballpark? My guess is no. Though the team is constantly in the "rebuilding stage", I am a life-long, die-hard Cub fan.
I have been to 25 Major League Stadiums including the news (the Jake, Camden, The Ballpark in Arlington, Safeco, and the BOB) and the olds(Fenway, Tiger, Dodger, Candlestick, and Yankee) so I consider myself somewhat of an expert.
Wow! There is a legendary quality about Wrigley Field. Tucked into a bustling neighborhood north of Chicago's Loop and ringed by townhouses with bleachers peering over the outfield wall, a visit to Wrigley not only validates all of those legends, but...
Pros: Atmosphere, tradition, and a piece of American culture Cons: Parking and elimination of bleacher tickets sold the day of the game
Wrigley Field is a large part of our American culture representing the cornerstone of our national pastime, baseball. While, management is content to field a mediocre team year after year the fans still come out in droves to experience the magic that...
Pros: a true American landmark, nostalgia at every turn Cons: parking is tough, the neighborhood's tougher
At the rate old baseball parks are being replaced, it may soon be gone. On the other hand, the Chicago Tribune Corp. has created such a unique situation there, Wrigley Field may be the only stadium in America where people go to see the stadium and...
Pros: You won't get killed in the neighborhood. Nice view of the game from neighboring roof-tops Cons: The team, the stadium, the food, the prices.
Why do people rave about this pit? Perhaps it is because they have no knowledge of baseball, and therefore have nothing to compare it with. Wrigley attendees are local yuppies, people from the plains who picked the wrong team when they first became...
A trip to Wrigley Field is a day to one of the nicest ball parks there are. This is one of the oldest fields around and yet attracks popularity from all around. When you visit Wrigley you will see many items that are original and only in this stadium...
Pros: An absolutely terrific home, I mean ballpark. Cons: Cardinals, Mets, Brewers, Braves need read no further.
The vine that drapes the outfield wall like a green-haired Rapunzel. The generous and shading overhangs. The decent view from just about every angle to watch Sammy Sosa launch one (at least for now), to watch Mark Grace make another unbelievable diving...
Pros: Baseball the way it was meant to be!!! Cons: No championship since 1908
Say what you want about Old Comisky, Tiger Stadium, Yankee Stadium and all the others, including Fenway...They all have their charm but Wrigley Field is the one to make sure not to miss...This place oozes the nostalgia, even with the lights...I was a...
This summer I went to Wrigley Field for the first time and I was very impressed. I went with my good friend Matt. The game we saw was against the national league champion Mets and the game had 3 2 hour rain delays. I was a little upset about...
In baseball there is divinity. Between the grace of the deep fly ball and the Edenic green of the infield grass, who could deny the existence of a higher power? The perfect geometry of baseball -- the number of innings, the 90 feet between bases, the...
Pros: Cubs Fans; Bleachers Cons: Cold Lake Breezes in April/May
It was former Cubs coach Don Zimmer who called Wrigley Field "The World's Largest Beer Garden." It is all that and so much more. It is baseball in it's purest form. Wrigley Field is devoid of many of the distractions that so many ballparks...
Pros: Great intimacy with tons of tradition! Cons: small... very small... but may be expanded!
Dr. Lolipop had the best review known to man on Wrigley Field... Still, I can't resist my chance to throw in my two cents! If you don't like my review....That's OK But read his,,, it is marked with Greatness!
Pros: Great atmosphere, Sunny and warm in the bleachers, Classic Chicago experience, Old Style beer Cons: Bleacher creatures more focused on cocktail party than the game, Can't keep homerun balls hit by opposing team, Old Style beer
Ferris Bueller had it right. There is no bliss like a Friday afternoon spent in the bleachers at Wrigley, and playing hookey from work or school only adds to the enjoyment.
My perfect afternoon at Wrigley starts as I exit the el Station at...
Pros: The atmosphere and sense of history. Cons: Parking and having to watch the Cubbies play.
I have been to two games at Wrigley and there is no better place on earth to watch a ball game. Even if you don't like baseball Wrigley is still worth visiting. It has something most stadiums don't ambiance and a sense of history. This is what baseball...
Pros: baseball, the view, the food, the atmosphere Cons: Crowded, the calibre of play from the home team
If you are around Chicago in summer and have any interest at all in baseball Wrigley Field is a must see. From the carnival atmosphere outside the park to the dignified American classicism of the park itself Wrigley is a one of a kind experience. I...
Pros: Beautiful atmosphere, friendly/knowledgeable fans, great baseball Cons: Difficult to find parking
I am 37 yrs old and a lifelong baseball fan. I have had the opportunity to go to many ballparks new and old but nothing compares to sitting in the bleachers at Wrigley.
It starts with the ambiance outside the stadium. If you get their early...
Pros: Still baseball's best arena... Cons: ...but not on weekends or at night
Saying something bad about Wrigley Field is like setting fire to the U.S. Flag. It's like trashing apple pie, and saying you never really liked Mom anyway. But as a native Chicagoan, diehard Cubs fan, and someone who once shagged batting-practice fly...
Pros: Green grass, Ivy in the outfield, A chance to escape life's troubles for a while. Cons: Non-existent which means expensive parking, take the El.
The grass, the field, the ivy...
I could go on and on trying to describe the many individual things that make up one ball park. But it is more than just that, it is more than just a ball park, it is Wrigley Field. It is a testament to...
Pros: You feel like you are at a ballpark Cons: There aren't many more fields like it
For my 26 years of existence I have been a Chicago Cub fan. It is just a family tradition. A day at Wrigley Field is a day of fun regardless of whether or not the Cubs win. All these other ball fields have gone to a style that I think is not what a ball...
Pros: History, tradition, and a party atmosphere Cons: Parking, location of restrooms, some obstructed view seating.
Unlike some who have commented on Wrigley Field, I have visited only a handful of MLB parks. Wrigley is among those that I have been to. Now, I know that Cubs fans are loyal to a fault, and that's good considering the history involved here. But I have...
Pros: Hot chicks. Go there if you are a punk looking to score. Cons: God-awful baseball experience.
What could be worse than a game at Wrigley? Two games at Wrigley. Getting there stinks. Parking stinks. Sightlines blocked by poles and people standing 5 rows in front of you. 5 rows! Too shallow. Always somebody getting up in front of you and not enough ...
Pros: The ivy, fans, location and atmosphere make Wrigley Field great. Cons: There's shade in 3/4 of the park.
Besides the fact that we have the best fans, Wrigley Field is the best looking park with or without the green ivy. You can just picture yourself sitting there watching the game through rain, snow, day and night in the middle of thousands of faithful ...
Pros: Great old time baseball stadium Cons: Rough on the edges
So let me start off by saying I am a die hard Cardinals fan. It is programmed into me to hate all things Cubs. That being said, Wrigley Field is a gem. It is one of those places that just seeps baseball out of every corner of the building. The ...
Wrigley Field is one the oldest stadiums in Major League Baseball. At one point the Chicago Bears used to play football on Wrigley Field. Even thought Wrigley Field is old, it is still a great place to go watch a baseball game. The ...
Pros: The neat old scoreboard. Cons: Everything else.
Wrigley Field is all about baseball history. So if you are a true fan of the game, it is nice to see once and take in the atmosphere. But the park itself is awful in multiple ways. There are very few restrooms. And the place just reeks of stale booze ...
Pros: Fresh air! City, but community atmosphere. Bleachers! Cozy!!!! Cons: Geezz...Dump the bad pizza!
Wrigley is the ONLY place to watch a real baseball game. The air, the wind off the lake, the ivy....all date back to a time when baseball wasn't about contracts or salary caps or egos. It's a cozy place with genuine box seats, bad food, and still the...
Pros: nice deck area
easy to attain beer
good ball park hot dogs
great view Cons: no parking
expensive tickets
sold out
There is nothing better than a day at Wrigley field. Me and the guys from work love nothing more then getting into the city of Chicago and getting to Wrigley. The only bad thing is that the parking is poor and often you will have to walk a long way to...
Pros: the females Cons: loooong game whether they win or lose
i had the opportunity to visit wrigley field on two occasions and found the experience lacking. a lack of enthusiasm from the crowd and the game itself was just plain boring. the build up to the game was great. the atmosphere was in tune with the ...
Pros: historic place Cons: crappy, old, fans, losing games
I recently went to the famous "Wrigley's Stadium" to witness supposedly one of the best atmosheres in baseball, with the Cubs' fans. I was able to get descent seats outside the stadium an hour before the "Big moment".
Pros: Almost everything, the atmosphere, the smell, the sites. Cons: Can get kind of cold in the shade some days. No parking.
I remember my first time ever going to Wrigley Field. The Cubs played the Braves. Everything about it was awesome. The whole atmosphere, the history, everything it stood for.
I had a seat in the shade, and it got really cold. It was odd at how much...
Pros: the atmosphere great Cons: The food is not as easily accesable as it should be for a ball park.
Wrigley is awesome! Any true chicaco fan would appreciate it! If i may compare it to the sox park, it is smaller, and the lights a bit more restricting. the box seat and club seat level don't compare, and there is no firework display at the end of the...
Pros: History, close to the field, people there to have a good time, short Bud line, good mass transit Cons: hard to park if you drive, tough to get bleacher seats
I hate to admit this, but Wrigley Field has got to be one of the best places in the world to see a baseball game. I am NOT a Cubs fan, dyed in the wool Cardinals fan if you care, but I thoroughly enjoyed a Cubs/Mets game one September even though I...
Pros: Great atmosphere, too many others to list Cons: Sometimes cold in April
When Ray Liotta asked Kevin Costner, "Is this heaven?", in Field of Dreams , Costner's reply was, "It's Iowa". If Liotta had asked him the same question while standing in Wrigley Field, Costner would have said yes!
Pros: Ivy wall old time feel Sammy Sosa! Cons: You go there to watch them win only to lose
Wrigley Field is one of the best if not the best baseball park in the sport today. If you are looking to find a piece of old art history in baseball then you must go here. Chicago may not have been blessed with the greatest baseball player throughout the...
Pros: A family park with lots of nostalgia! Cons: Parking!
Wrigley Field is the best place to view a baseball game. Bleacher seat prices are reasonable and there is a friendly feel to your seatmates, even if you've never met them before. The view is also excellent and the outfielders acknowledge the fans in...
Wrigley Field is definitely one of a kind. I am a Chicago area native and have been to Wrigley quite a few times. You will never get tired of the experience. Wrigley Field is of an extinct breed of ballparks. Just about every other baseball team in...
Pros: One of the game's last great landmarks Cons: Cubs baseball
I've only attended a few games at Wrigley Field, but the memories of those games will live with me forever. From the moment you walk into this hallowed stadium, you get a feel that you are in the presence of baseball greatness. Even though you can only...
Pros: Great history, and fun family day Cons: PARKING!
If you have never been to Wrigley Field, go! I literally mean, go there! The experience of just being there will make up for the poor baseball you are likely to see on the field. Wrigley Field is so historic. The best way to see it is to take a...
Baseball's third oldest stadium is quite possibly the best place in the world to enjoy American's favorite sport. It's been decades since the Cubs have won a championship, but Chicago's true come out week in and week out from April until September (late...
Pros: A throwback to the good old days, timeless traditions like that of throwing the baseball back after the opponent hits a home run. Cons: Absolutely nothing
I'm probably not the person who should be writing this opinion. I really have no basis for it because I have never personally viewed a ball game while sitting in the park. I don't really have the opportunity since I live rather a fair distance from the...
Pros: Bleachers, Fans, Team, Smells, Atmosphere, Chicago Cons: World Series still coming!
Before you die, it would be unAmerican not to see a Cubs game at Wrigley field. Wrigley is the epitome of baseball. It signifies all that is good with baseball within its confines. With Ivy growing on the walls, to a thriving pub scene surrounding the...
the bleacher bums are the most famous fans in baseball and i highly suggest becoming one of them. but don't take your family there. i have to say i was almost as entertained by the fans as i was by the game. this park is beautiful and it represents what...
Last summer I was visiting my sister in Chicago and had the opportunity t go see my beloved cubs play at Wrigley field. From the moment that I walked in the stadium (actually it is a shrine) to the moment that I left I was in total awe. I was sure that...
Pros: the history, the ivy, the atmosphere Cons: some poor sightlines, a little cramped
Wrigley Field is seemingly the exact opposite of the crosstown rival's home, Comiskey Park. Where Comiskey lacks character and personality, Wrigley is overflowing with it. My first trip there was greeted with a lot of friendly folks just talking...
Pros: Views, fans, Cubs, character, history Cons: parking, drunks
Let me just preface this by saying that I've been to almost all of the ball parks in MLB. Now let me say that Wrigley is the best professional baseball experience offered. Granted, the Cubs are not always the most enjoyable team to watch, however,...
We took a "field trip" in college to Chicago from Minnesota and caught a Cub's game at Wrigley. It was so fun. Coming from a state with no outdoor stadium, this was a real treat. Atmosphere is fun outside the stadium as well. There were about 10 of...
Pros: Intimate, beautiful, legendary Cons: Not a darn thing
A few years ago, Camden Yards revolutionized modern ballparks -- before Camden, behemoth structures like Comiskey Field and Dodger Stadium were considered crown jewels. Then, Camden showed up, and suddenly everybody wanted a smaller park, where...
Actually, the Cubs lose more often than the they win. I am a cubs fan based in the Bay Area, and the suffering for Cubs fans has been so long, I do not think we would know how to react if the Cubs actually won the World Series. The cubs have not won...
Pros: The fans, the ivied walls Cons: The Cubs : ( but we love them anyway!!
I grew up three hours outside of Chicago but I never grasped the essence of Chicago until I saw my first double-header @ Wrigley. The atmosphere is energetic, exciting, playful, and inspirational. Costner's movie "Field of Dreams" was brought to life...
Wrigley Field is one of the last great ball parks in america. As times change the owner feel obligated to give their teams the best facilities money can buy. And to tell you the truth I din't blame them. But instead of going through all the trouble...
Pros: A beautiful piece of history. Cons: They play baseball there,and they ain't so good at it.
Now I don't want no body getting all emotional on me. I am aware that talking bad about baseball in America is like talking about somebody's momma. But I have to give it to you straight. I have the utmost respect for baseball, I am in awe when I hear the...
Pros: it's WRIGLEY for heavens sake! Cons: parking nonexistent
Wrigley is in a class by itself. I love spending a lazy afternoon in the bleachers watching the Cubs lose (remember -- truth in advertising). In fact I'd rather be there than just about anywhere else in the world.
Pros: beautiful place, great experience, historical Cons: tough to park, I couldn't stay longer
I can't think of anything I would rather do than watch a Cubs game at the beautiful, majestic, historical Wrigley Field. The green ivy in the outfield and the big tall buildings overlooking the ballpark were exactly as I had seen them so many times on...
Pros: beautiful park, great atmosphere Cons: poor parking - take the train instead
I have been to many stadiums, but Wrigley Field is by far the best one. Every single seat (and the standing-room-only sections) is worth three times (if not more) the cost of the ticket. Surprisingly, ticket prices at Wrigley are very reasonable,...
If you can only get to one ball park in your life, come to this one. It's the best, bar none. It combines inherent ambience with a slice of history and even moviemaking (it was the ballpark used in the filming of A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN, the Penny Marshall...
Wrigley Feild is unique, something that the Chicago Cubs have that no other team does. This stadium should be a monument there is so much history and tradition here. This stadium is one of a kind...the most noticeable quality? The ivy. There is a...
Pros: A great stadium filled with baseball history Cons: The Cubs still suck
I've been to Wrigley Field a few times, and I love the stadium. I took the el train from Lincoln Park, and only had to walk a few feet from the station. I bought seats at the stadium, and sat on the third base side, on the second balcony. I could see...
My opinion about Wrigley Field is the way it is built it is so awesome that you should go to every home game that the Chicago Cubs have there.Because it is so cool it has a bunch of seats in the ballpark and the foul territory is so awesome because the...
Wrigley Field is a very historic park, the second oldest active ballpark. It may not have all the luxuries as some of the brand new parks, but it is still probably one of the very best. Many of the great players of the past have played in this park,...
Pros: close to the train system, great atmosphere, friendly fans Cons: scoreboard hard to read
I recently went on a vacation to Chicago. As soon as I knew when I would be there, I went online to the Chicago Cubs website and bought two seats for a game. I was especially excited because I knew that Randy Johnson would be pitching for the...
Pros: Everything about it, great atmosphere Cons: No parking, team has a hard time winning
What a classic park! There is not much better than going out to Wrigley field on a sunny June day in Chicago, sitting in the bleachers, and having a great time. The park is always full, and everyone there is almost always in a good mood. Despite all the...
Anyone who considers himself a true baseball fan, a lover of the game and all the traditions behind it, must visit Wrigley Field at least once. It is more than the home of the Cubs. It is a piece of baseball history and a symbol of all that is good...
Pros: Lots of fun bars in the area Cons: Some are too expensive
Here is the scoop on bars near Wrigley, from someone who lives 3 blocks away. Also see my "Restaurants Near Wrigley."
Cubby Bear: bad bar, with expensive beer ($4.25 for a 12oz Coors Light), and high cover charges ($10 on random Tuesday...
Pros: The people, the smell, the look, and the feeling Cons: The Cubs have not won a World Series since 1908
I went to a Cubs game last year around August and as soon as I walked into the ballpark it took my breath away. Just the look of the brick behind home and the ivy in the outfield really brings out the best in baseball. And to see the fans go wild really...
Pros: Rustic atmosphere, friendly people, decent team, and an unforgettable experience! Cons: Traffic and high food prices
One of the first professional baseball games I went to was to watch the Chicago Cubs play at none other than Wrigley Field and it was an experience I will never forget! People might wonder what could be that special about watching an average team...
Pros: Good Restaurants here Cons: Some are expensive
Some of the best restaurants near Wrigley Field:
- Salt and Pepper Diner (very cheap food, and just a fun diner environment, on Clark a block south of Wrigley)
- Matsuya (great sushi, not too expensive, good service. Also on Clark a block...
Pros: Ivy covered walls, bleacher bums, living baseball history, and the CUBS Cons: NONE, ABSOLUTELY NONE
Wrigley field is an unforgettable experience for everyone from Grandma to the toddler. This venue offers ivy covered walls with a manual scoreboard to make one feel as though they are reliving history. The fans are great, the team is great, the stadium...
Pros: Enjoy this Unique Baseball game Cons: The Home Team May Loose.
Although I have been to baseball games at other stadiums, seeing baseball at Comiskey Park was really a treat. Between the 7th and 8th inning, they actually do a "Seventh inning stretch" when almost the entire audience stands, stretches and...
I have loved going to Wrigley Field since I was a little girl and my parents introduced me to Wrigley Field and the Chicago Cubs. I have now been able to take not only my children but my grandchildren. What a feeling! It's a place to forget your...
Wrigley Field is a great ballpark. The ballpark is very old and it has many different sites to see within its ivy covered walls. The fact that the Chicago Cubs play baseball there makes Wrigley Field an even better ballpark. I love going to see Sammy...
Pros: Atmosphere, great neighborhood Cons: Parking is expensive (take the El); bleacher seats (best in the house) go quickly; the Cubs; $4.50 for a warm beer???
Wrigley Field can be summed up in two words: a shrine. A shrine to good Cubs teams of the early to mid 1900s, and a shrine to the miserable teams of the rest of the century.
For summer visitors, a trip to Wrigley Field is a necessity. The...
Pros: the atmosphere is unbelievable Cons: no Jumbotron or any other 21st century advancements--if you're into that.
I went to Wrigley Field in June of 1997, to watch my beloved Kansas City Royals take on the Chicago Cubs. It was an experience I will never forget as long as I live.
I was sporting my Johnny Damon jersey when I arrived at Wrigley with my pops...
Pros: Great family fun at a good price Cons: Not much parking take bus
Wrigley Field is a nice ball park and the average seat price is around 12 dollars which is a great price cheaper than most. Great food close to transportation. Great place to take a family they even have a family section that prohibits alcohol....
Pros: The grass, the ivy, the history... SEE IT BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!!! Cons: Parking (take the EL), Occasional heartbreaking loss by the Cubbies
The grass, the field, the ivy...
I could go on and on trying to describe the many individual things that make up one ball park. But it is more than just that, it is more than just a ball park, it is Wrigley Field. It is a testament to...
I have been to a lot of beautiful baseball parks across the country but none come close to even comparing with the friendly confines of Wrigley
Field. Anywhere you sit whether it be the bleachers or up in the upper deck with the pigeons, there is...
I am a Clevelander, but during one of my many visits to Chicago, I got around to taking in a ballgame at Wrigley Field.. It is a sharp contrast to the modern ballparks that Cleveland Indians fans are used to. I love Jacobs Field, but I also really liked...
Pros: It's Wrigley Field. Old time baseball feeling. Cons: No Parking, concession costs.
What can you say about Wrigley Field, there is too much to say.
Every time I go there I get a great feeling of Nostalgia just being in this park, think of all the great players over the years that have swung a bat towards the ivy. Wrigley is...
Pros: great atmosphere, fun crowd Cons: ticket availability and cost
I have two tips that some other people might not have shared with you. People often complain about the price of parking at Wrigley Field, but that shouldn't be an issue. Take the "El" train to the game. It costs $1.50 per ride and lets...
Pros: the best park in either league Cons: price of beer and hot dogs,parking
What can you say about the worlds best ballpark. From the bleacherbums, to Skip Carey and Stoney, to the new guest conductor that they have at each and every home game. Harry still roams the corridors of Wrigley if you listen you can still hear him...
Pros: natural grass, bleachers, ivy Cons: limited parking, few night games
I grew up in Chicago. When you grow up in Chicago, you are either a Cubs fan or a White Sox fan. There is no in between, there is no liking both teams. I being from the north side, I was a Cub fan, so my opinion my be a little biased. I believe you...
Wrigley Field is one of the first ballparks you hear about. There is just so much associtaed with this park. The ivy in the outfield wall, the apartment seats. The cubs fans throwing the ball back after the other team hits a homerun. There is just so...
Pros: Fun, Good story to tell Cons: Are there any?
Does Wrigley really need any more of a description? All I have to say is that Wrigley is not simply about the baseball, it's about the experience. The stadium is filled with yuppie 20 and 30-somethings prancing around with a beer in one hand and a...
Pros: atmoshphere, man and women, da cubbies Cons: NONE AT ALL!!!!!!
What needs to be said? Wrigley is not only one of the oldest ball parks, it is by far the worlds finest example of what a baseball staduim should be. Wrigley doesn't need any high tech toys like the new modern hi-tech stadiums, becuase Wrigley has things...
Pros: Friendly Atmosphere, Cheap seats, Good Food. Cons: Poor Utilities, lots of drunks
If you have never been to The Friendly Confines of Wrigley Field, you are definitely missing out. You will never be able to find a more friendly place to see a sporting event. Wrigley Field and the Chicago Cubs exhibit everything that is good about...
Pros: Get a tan, a buzz, and some entertainment...public transportation...beer! Cons: It's the last of its kind....awwwww!
Quite simply, Wrigley Field is the finest baseball park in America. Here on the eve of the closing of another great venue -- Tiger Stadium in Detroit, of ever honored memory -- I sit and reflect on the greatness of the Second City's neighborhood baseball...
My first trip to Wrigley Field was one I would never forget. The activities around the stadium before a game make it exciting to be hours early. There is plenty of good parking all around the stadium, which makes any walk you have to make a memorable...
Pros: Great upkeep of the field Cons: The Cubs winning record-haha
Ah yes baseball season is approaching, and Wrigley is the "King of Fields." It's a great place to spend time with family and friends. Wrigley is one of Chicago's trademarks. It makes Chicago....well Chicago. Every time I've spent time in...
I have been to 25 Major League Stadiums including the news (the Jake, Camden, The Ballpark in Arlington, Safeco, and the BOB) and the olds(Fenway, Tiger, Dodger, Candlestick, and Yankee) so I consider myself somewhat of an expert.
Pros: Great seating and atmosphere Cons: the ball team is not that great
The hot dogs at Wrigley's field are one of the best in the world. Each time I go I eat at least three or four. All the concession stands there are great. The seating is good. There is not one bad seat in the ball park. The field is very nice and is...
Ahhh...the friendly confines by sfgiantsfan25 ,Nov 14 '04
Pros: It's WRIGLEY FIELD FOR CRIPES SAKE! Cons: gets pretty hot sometimes, stadium needs upgrades/repairs
Wrigley Field - I still get chills thinking about some of the days I sat in this classic ballpark. It really is legendary. The ivy is truely beautiful, the nearby rooftop bleacher clubs give the place an aura of friendliness.
She's kind of old and needs some fixing up but if you are a baseball fanatic like me GO JUST BECAUSE IT IS STILL THERE.
Although I'm sure all of North Chicago would RIOT if anyone tried to take down this legendary field. This is a Field of Dreams come true.
Pros: They must have torn down something to build it. Cons: Too open, not an old time feel.
We visited Wrigley Field several years ago and were surprised by how sterile the place seemed. It did not have a nice quaint feel like Jacobs Field in Cleveland. It is a retro park that feels like you are in one of the old round multi-use stadiums, like Riverfront or Three Rivers. Busch Stadium is 30 years older but a better place to watch a game. Plus the area does not exactly make you feel like getting out after the game and going for a stroll.
Baseball The Way It Ought To Be by forevrblu ,Jan 20 '05
Pros: Most games still played in daytime. Must see a day game for true Wrigley experience Cons: The bane of any old time stadium, pillars obstructing the view of the game
I took in a couple of games there in June against the rival Cardinals, both day games. There really is quite a buzz surrounding Wrigleyville. To truly get the Wrigley experience, you MUST attend a day game here, baseball the old-fashioned way, in the daytime, player intro music, no jumbotron, the sight of the brick covered ivy swaying with the wind, and oh yeah, the Wrigley tradition of throwing back visiting teams home runs also hold true for the good folks out at Waveland Avenue as well.
Wrigley has nice history, but lets down a little. by rdmck6469 ,Aug 06 '05
Pros: History, vines, and bleacher folk. Cons: Seats that aren't in the bleachers, and the concourse.
Wrigley is a nice field, love the brick and the vines, and the bleacher folk are a lot of fun. Unless you are buying beer, though, the vendors don't come around much, and many of the seats aren't so great for seeing a game.
Your Mastercard Commercial should END here! by pelican33 ,Jan 31 '04
Pros: Bleachers are the absolute best! The fans are great! Cons: Win a pennant for crying out loud!
So you're planning your own version of a Mastercard commercial, huh? Well, end it with Wrigley! That's right, end it at the Friendly Confines. Why? Because its the best and if you start here, no other stadium will compare. I've been to Fenway (second best baseball experience ever, just behind Wrigley), Yankee Stadium (highly overrated), Comiskey (U-G-L-Y, you don't need no aliby...), Comerica (great park, bad team), Dodger (tight seating), Angel Stadium (maybe the best of the "new/redesigned" parks - haven't been to PacBell), etc. No park can compare to Wrigley. The fans are there to have fun, especially in the bleachers. The area around the park is a ton of fun as well. Go to Wrigley, bring your sunblock, and be ready to drink lots of brew.... then hit the Cubbie Bear afterwards. Great place!
