Pros: The ivy, the location, the manual scoreboard
Cons: Parking is a hassle; poor quality of baseball, accessibility could be better.
Summary: 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. ... read more

Pros: Great historic atmosphere, not a bad seat in the entire park
Cons: Don't expect to watch a world series game at this park, parking is not greatest

Pros: The ivy, fans, location and atmosphere make Wrigley Field great.
Cons: There's shade in 3/4 of the park.
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: Great old time baseball stadium
Cons: Rough on the edges
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: Great Atmosphere
Cons: Not really good food
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: The neat old scoreboard.
Cons: Everything else.
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: Hot chicks. Go there if you are a punk looking to score.
Cons: God-awful baseball experience.
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: great view of the game. Great atmosphere.
Cons: bad food. terrible restrooms.
Summary: 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 ... read more

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
Summary: 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. ... read more

Pros: Nice party atmosphere for singles
Cons: Antiquated facilities, horrible sightlines, inattentive fans.
Summary: 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 ... read more

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.
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: Atmosphere, Atmosphere, Atmosphere
Cons: Sometimes tickets (especially week-ends) are hard to get. Parking.
Summary: 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. ... read more

Pros: Ambiance, natural grass, the best place in the world to watch a ballgame!
Cons: Parking, some seats are behind columns.
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: Historical, fun fans, fun team
Cons: Not enclosed, dirty, difficult view in some areas, expensive parking

Pros: It's Wrigley Field. Old time baseball feeling.
Cons: No Parking, concession costs.
