Why should you visit Wrigley?  The atmosphere alone makes it worth the trip.  I have never seen such die hard fans (the only exception I make to this is Lambeau Field).  Everyone was nice (even after Bill and I sat in the wrong seats).  It doesn’t take much to get the crowd into the game either.  All nine innings that Cubs were cheered for.  We even have our own version of “Take Me Out To The Ballgame”, and I don’t think there was a soul in there who wasn’t singing.  I don’t think there is a bad seat in the place either.  Our tickets have been all over the stadium, and they were always good seats. You can also feel the history there.  This is an old stadium, and it definitely has character.

I have only one complaint about Wrigley Field.  The food stinks.  We wanted to go to one of the restaurants inside, but they were closed to private parties, so we ended up eating from the concession stand.  Ick and expensive.

It is great to be in a place with such team spirit.  As we left the game, Cubs fans were still singing the “Go, Cubs, Go” song all the way down to the street.  Now that they are in the playoffs, I can only imagine the atmosphere to get better and better.

Have you been to Wrigley Field?  What was your experience like?

Madison’s (my 4 year old) most favorite part of this is the firefighter display.

As you can see, Madison loved this and that it isn’t a little set up.  It is huge and the kids love it!  This is all she talked about all the way there.  They also have bathtub races for the older kids too.  They have the jumpy things too.  They also had a blow up train the kids cold work their way through and huge blow up slides the kids can go down.  My only complaint with this is that a lot of these had kids manning them (like 12 year olds).  However, it was free so I can’t complain too much.  I personally enjoyed the huge craft show that they had also!

They also had clowns blowing up balloons, a guy walking around on stilts, and face painting!

Now, you did miss it for this year, but don’t miss it next year!
