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: 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: 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.

Two years ago I was able to attend a...

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

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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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...
