I love Wrigley. Chicago is my favorite city, so I love going there anyway, but Wrigley is another great experience. The neighborhood is awesome, and the view from the stadium is great.

Man, someone give hubby a job so we can go back in August

I hear a bunch of stuff from people that are Cardinals fans and I think they get pretty biased.

In fairness, of all the times I've gone, I've never been there for a Cubs-Cards game. I've seen the Rockies, Dodgers, Yankees, and Pirates, but never the Cardinals. Keep that in the back of your head.

I sat upper deck for a cards cubs game last august. We were near a pole and it kinda sucked but it was cool. Anyways, it was the game that pujols nearly jacked the Slam to win it in the 8th. There were lead changes and it was a tight game. My cards frend and I(and a few behind us) were loud but not obnoxious yelling. And it was returned. Nothing harmful or out of control. Just some taunting at lead changes and what not. But again that wasn't the bleachers.

I'd say it looked a lil dirty, but part of it was just old. Not like trash and crap every where. I remember a distinct smell (again probably just old) but it wasn't urine.

It's a good park, go and have a good time.

That's the game I was at, vin. What shocked me most (this was 1st time in Wrigley) was that the crowd seemed pretty much 50/50 Cubs/Cards. Quite amazing to me, actually.

Yea. After that ball got hit all the Cubbies just slumped. They thought it was gone too. When they caught it after screaming they turned and just shrugged at me. As if to say '5 Feet either way'

A good run the last few years for the Cards and scalpers buying up tons of tickets and selling them to anyone with money seems to have kinda led to this.

I have always had a great time at Wrigley. My game groups are split between Cards and Cubs fans and we usually hear nothing but good-natured ribbing during the game.

The one and only good thing Juan Pierre did.

Thanks RC and Rottis for the info. Can't wait to get there.

HOW CAN WRIGLEY SMELL LIKE URINE?

THE CUBS ARE PISS POOR!
