Wrigley Field

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: 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 ...

Pros: Great Atmosphere
Cons: Not really good food

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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: NO BILLBOARDs ON OUTFIELD WALLS!!!
Cons: Hmm, well, I guess it could look out onto Lake Michigan.

Stands the test of time. Conjures up memories of the way baseball was played and should be played to ...

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: 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...

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....
