Wrigley Field

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.

Growing up in the...

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.

If you are under 30, I would highly...

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.

A lot of the newer...

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.

Wrigley is a beautiful...

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.

Wrigley Field is still a REAL ballpark, it is...

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: Beautiful Field, lots of history
Cons: Go there to see the Cubbies lose most of the time.

Wrigley Field is one of the best ballparks to be in. The Cubs fans are second to none and you will be in baseball heaven.

This is one of the best ballparks in the history of baseball, I mean it is the second oldest park around and they have...

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...
