I lived in Chicago when I was very young and playing little league, my dad would take us to Wednesday games every chance he could. I’ve been a diehard Cubs fan since 1967. I got to see so many Cubs greats. Ferguson Jenkins, Billy Williams, Ernie Banks, and so many others. After we left in 1970 and moved to Nevada I had the chance in 1992 to fly back and visit family in Wisconsin, they lived on the west side of the state. I borrowed my sister’s car one day and drove the 10 hour RT by myself just to see the Cubs game and be inside Wrigley Field again. The place is magical. Got to see Ryne Sandberg my second favorite Cub behind Greg Maddux, who I got to see win his 300th game in San Francisco. Thanks for sharing. Awesome. Gives me goosebumps. Anyone know has been there knows that feeling. For decades all I wanted was to see the Cubs just play in a World Series and they finally won another one after way to many years.

I am a *CANADIAN* who is a die-hard Cubs fan _(Ryne Sandberg favourite all time player)_ who went to Chicago and a Cubs game for the very first time - 20 June 2024 - against the NY Mets. Sat in section 110, along the third base line. Great seats, great sight lines. Sadly, the Cubs got trashed, 11-1 in the game. Was still a thrill to see the Cubs play live in such a great venue. I even took a tour of Wrigley Field _prior_ to the game with the tour guide “Kenny” leading the way. He was fantastic. Well worth the $30 US price tag. Learned a lot about the past and present history of Wrigley Field. After the game I went into the adjacent Cubs Store and spent a small fortune in there on t-shirts and other memorabilia. Then my wife and I ate at Swift and Sons Tavern right across the street from Wrigley Field. Great food, great service too. We stayed at the old Warwick Allerton Hotel on N. Michigan Avenue. We did the “Mob Tour” too the next day. Shout out to Nora’s Restaurant on N. St. Clair Street where we ate twice … great food!! ~ We will definitely go back and see the Cubs again at Wrigley. ~ 🇨🇦 P.S. - Uber is a great way to get around. Taxi drivers can be really pushy, hence why we preferred Uber. Thank you Chicago for a wonderful time!

@@SACSportsAdventures Well to get 1 thing straight, actual Cub fans for the MOST part from Chicago or anywhere in Illinois are actually pretty cool and some of the most knowledgeable baseball fans in the game and always talk about how they love going to the Dells or Lake Geneva. The Cub fans you see at Miller Park acting like tough guy d-bags and starting fights are (from what I've observed in my many experiences) are Wisconsin Cub fans that live right here. I have at least 5 in my neighborhood alone and I live in the metro MKE area. But believe me, Brewer fans aren't innocent either, I've seen and experienced some A-hole Brewer fans also. And that is coming from a Brewer fan himself. Yeah so the view from the Roof tops arnt perfect, If you sight on the Waveland side, you might miss the dead center part of the outfield and on the Sheffield side you kinda miss part of right field and the view of the Jumbotron. But I loved that I did not have to look at the large video board and I could see the hand operated scoreboard perfectly from the Sheffield side and Loved it! I highly suggest it. A ticket alone for the rooftop is $90 a piece BUT it includes food (hotdogs, burgers, ice cream) and all you can drink beer. Totally worth it and a Very cool ballpark experience.

On Feb. 24, 1890, in the eighth round of voting, Chicago received 157 votes, three votes over what was needed for a majority. New York received 107 votes, St. Louis 26 and Washington 18. Soon after, the Senate voted in favor of Chicago and sealed the deal. Chicago was also chosen in part because it was a railroad center of the Nation and in part because it offered a guarantee of $10 million. The result was the "World's Columbian Exposition of 1893.... The White City was built very elaborate ... but with only temporary structures..... The "Fine Arts Building" though .... was built to survive housing priceless artwork for the 1893 Exposition It did fall into disrepair. Then by 1926 ... Julius Rosenwald pledges $3 million toward the creation of an industrial museum in Chicago and rallied the city’s business leaders in support of the project. "The Museum of Science and Industry" was the result since since its new repurpose opening in 1933 standing proudly with millions of visitors since along the shores of Lake Michigan separated from it by Lake Shore Drive to some beaches.

When I was a kid both Wrigley and Soldier Field were total dumps. I remember the bathrooms at both stadiums had the old school metal trough urinals and the bathrooms reeked, paint was peeled everywhere, and the concourses were dingy and looked like back alleys from an old New York mobster movie. Went back to Wrigley and saw a game a few years ago and it was like a whole new stadium but they kept everything that was classic about it. However I was not a fan of the screens, including the massive one in left field. The stadium looked much nicer without it...also there are way more ads all over the place now.

That’s some great insight! I think they did a really nice job renovating some areas and really cleaning it up.

I've haven't been to Wrigley Field in years. The last time I went to a game at Wrigley Field was way before The 1060 Project was even made. I've been to Wrigley Field so many times and of all the times I've gone to a game there The Cubs only won once in like between 5 or 10 times. I'm nowadays am a mostly a White Sox fan but if you asked me what stadium I liked better I would definitely say that while I do like Guaranteed Rate Field (I'll still call it either Comiskey Park or as I knew it when I first saw a White Sox game US Cellular Field) because of the more modern features I would still say that Wrigley Field is my favorite baseball stadium because of how much history is in the ballpark. Like when you enter Wrigley Field you can feel the history coming from the ballpark itself and it makes you appreciate it even more. Also Wrigley Field is my favorite ballpark because I went to my first baseball game at Wrigley Field so I'm pretty biased towards Wrigley Field. If I get a apartment soon I hope to be able to go to a game at Wrigley Field so I can see what changed since I went to see a game there and do my own judgment over the renovation.
