Mecca of MLB

Sometimes you have no choice, when we went to Fenway, we were coming down from RI, so we had to park. We did find a service lot 2 few blocks away, but there is no real parking at either stadium.

To me both stadiums are like Kinnick in IC, if you are a fan of the team, its a great stadium, but for the other team or the causal fan, its an old relic that would be better off replaced or modernized. Both the Sox and Cubs have down a decent job modernizing both stadiums, but there is only so much you can do, and they both have a small footprint to work with.

I guess I am a bit old school. I have never been a fan of the Packers, but when an opportunity to go to a game at Lambeau fell into my lap I couldn't say no. I think there are some venues in every sport that a sports fan should try to experience. Lambeau, MSG, Fenway and Wrigley are at the top of the list.

True, we were in at the SF Giants park two years ago, and we loved it. Looked like an old time stadium with all the modern parts to make it a great experience, Camden Yards in Baltimore is the same say. Great places to take in a game, but also easy to get in and around in. Best of both worlds.

Been there, also decent area. I suppose Loservill and Wrigley is the Mecca.

Are you still there? Just started up after 2 3/4 hour delay

had tickets for Broadway show at 7, so had to leave.

Love a good Wrigley Field thread which is all this thread could be about.

I lived about 12 blocks away for 3 years after ISU. The first two years I was just freelancing and waiting tables so I’d go over and find some guy stuck trying to sell tickets for $5 in the third inning of a day game. I was pretty broke yet went to mlb all the time for that price, now I live not far from Dodger Stadium, own a home, but can’t find time or money to ever go to a Cubs Dodgers game.

Been going to Wrigley for 25+ years. Was there two weeks ago for Cubs-Red Sox and got bleacher tickets…for $150 each. Wrigley is awesome but the Ricketts have sucked every dollar out of it these days.
