Wrigley Field

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...

Pros: Absolutely beautiful
Cons: no parking

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.

For a true and...

Pros: GREAT BASEBALL ATMOSPHERE
Cons: NONE FOUND

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.

Plan on getting there at least...

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...
