Wrigley Field is baseball as it is meant to be. . . . baseball, peanuts, popcorn, and cracker jacks! The field is SO close and is so amazing. Historically it is the second oldest stadium in the US, built in 1914. There are no distrractions to the game as at other stadiums, i.e. no playgrounds for bored children, no merry go rounds, no other forms of entertainment. When you are there, you are there for baseball. It is baseball at it's purest!

There are no large paved parking lots near the field. The surrounding neighborhood has shops, restaurants, and sports bars. Buildings on two sides of the stadium offer roof top seating for an unusual prespective. These are usually used by corporations, or groups.

Lack of parking may be the one negative, but many of the residents open up their garages during the games for a small fee, and there are buses to shuttle you in from outlaying parking lots.

Try to get in a game at the Friendly Confines of Wrigley when you are in Chicago. You won't be disappointed!

This past year I have attended 10 Cubs games at Wrigley Field. If you have good seats this can be a great experience, but if you do not have a preminum seat you can be behind a pole or under a roof, being unable to a fly ball. The atmosphere is outstanding, this is something everyone needs to experience. The seats are on the small side, so If you are a tall or big person be prepared to have little comfort. The bathrooms are also a mess and usually include at least a 10 minute wait during game time, but especially longer for women. The food is okay, but pales in comparison to any other baseball stadium. The seventh inning stretch is a great tradition that is still followed. I reccomend this place for adults because of the bar atmoshphere. The neighborhood around has plently of bars and you can spend a full day or night out here. Make sure to arrive early because parking is hard to find and expensive. Do not be surpised by home owners or building owners selling parking spaces in their garages or lots. Overeall, if you are a fan of baseball this is a place to experience, but donot be prepared to be pampered by updates. Hopefully the impending new ownership can start with improvements

Would not go again....rough crowd. Crowd was no better in the bars around the ball park either. I usually enjoy going to stadiums in different cities but Chicago is out for me.

Wrigley Field represents the history of a great American Tradition. The smell of ballpark food is enticing as soon as one enters the facility. The atmosphere is anxious anticipation of a great game. Even the environment outside the stadium is exciting because it feeds of the fans' energy. A trip to Wrigley Field is a definite must for the Chicago tourist!

I went to Wrigley Field for a Cubs game and it was wonderful! I had so much fun. Such a neat park right in the middle of the city. I would recommend this to all baseball lovers.
