I've been to MANY baseball stadiums all over the US, major and minor. I've been to a lot of single A stadiums that far outweigh Wrigley field in every way. There is a lot of glamour behind Wrigley and that's all it's about.
The seats are SO uncomfortable. Expensive drinks, incredibly overcrowded. There are a few parts of the stadium the look to be under construction, but no, that's just how the stadium looks on the inside !
So, save your $80 - $300 per seat, go to a bar and watch the game somewhere comfortably, like in your living room. After spending that kind of cash and seeing the Cubs, you will be sorely disappointed.
Also, if everyone who was drunk at Wrigley got thrown out of the stadium, you would be the only person sitting there, watching the game. VERY kid UNFRIENDLY place to go !

Had a good time, though it wasn't as life affirming/altering as I had overly worked myself up to believe. The tickets were very expensive, however the stadium seating is very close to the field and intimate in proximity to the players on field. Concession stands are plentiful and fast; there are also still beer vendors in the seats.

There are plenty of restaurants and bars right outside the stadium, and the El train station is just as close. Wrigley is a good time, just don't set unrealistic expectations.

I had read a review on this site indicating standing room only tickets were available on the day of the game. We really wanted to see a Cubs game while in Chicago. We are from Boston and so we understand how the Cubs fans feel about their team and how difficult it is to get tickets. We were also excited to visit Wrigley field. We checked for tickets online and through our hotel with very little luck. We decided to head up to the field anyway to see if we could actually get tickets on game day. We got there a few hours before the game on labor day. The box office opens 3 hours before the game for same day tickets. We were able to get great seats right behind the cubs dugout. Standing room tickets were also available, but we opted for the box seats. The experience was worth every penny even though the Cubs lost to Houston. We highly recommend taking in a Cubs game to anyone visiting Chicago who is a baseball fan.

...go to a Cubs game in Wrigley Field! Even as someone completely unfamilar with the game, I had an amazing time. The free flowing beer and hotdogs, the atmosphere, the lively cubbie supporters, the singing and chanting and the history of the stadium make it an absolutely unforgettable experience. If you can't get tickets online, there are always plenty available from the bars beside Wrigley Field. Its a must see in Chicago!

We are die-hard Cardinals fans, but jumped at the opportunity to tour Wrigley field, home to our rival, the Cubs. The tour was nearly 2 hours long, very informative & so much fun. The tour guide was very knowledgable and shared many great stories about baseball traditions that started at Wrigley.

The park itself is small, with small locker rooms, etc., but wow, how neat to be in a place where there has been so much baseball history. The tour included stops in the boxes, press box, visitor locker room, visitor dugout, out on the field, and in the bleachers.

I highly recommend the tour - tickets are $25 each, but it was definitely money well-spent.

Definitely take the red line train to Wrigley - very close to the ballpark -- fascinating that the park is right in the middle of a neighborhood, can't imagine how anyone would try to drive & park there.

Go Cardinals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
