If you're used to and like the clean and modern (dare I say sameness and sterile) modern ballpark, then this is not the trip for you or a family with kids. If you're willing to relax, maybe have an experience with an obnoxious drunk, be a part of a crowd (and be crowded) and enjoy the beauty of the field, you can enjoy yourself. My team (the hated "visitors") were thoroughly drubbed on our recent adventure. Doesn't matter. Here is an insiders tip. TAKE THE RED LINE. Parking around Wrigley is a joke. For a few dollars you get the real city experience, trains run regularly and everyone is going to the same place so you know when to get off the train. Get your tickets ahead of time. I've scalped for years and professional Wrigley scalpers are relentlessly hanging on to their tickets even after the game starts, for well over face value. Get tickets from stubhub if you don't have tickets. Be prepared (unless it is a sultry July/August day) for cool weather if you are not in the sun. Most seats in the upper deck and a vast number in the lower are never gonna get sun. Bring a sweater/sweatshirt unless it is going to be 78 degrees or more. Do you wanna look good or do you want to enjoy the experience??? Grab a drink or two or three before going into the game - inside tip folks: Salt & Pepper just south of Wrigley on Clark has cheap pitchers.
