"Go Cubbies!" BASEBALL - Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field Tip by Etoile2B

Baseball is America’s “National Pastime” and one the fans in Chicago take seriously. The Cubbies season generally runs from April to October. Individual game tickets are available through Ticketmaster online, by phone or at the Wrigley Box Office. If you don’t have tickets on game day you can always try buying them from scalpers in the Wrigleyville neighborhood. The bleachers are traditionally filled by the “Bleacher Bums”, die hard fans of the Cubbies. If you can get tickets here you’re in store for a raucous good time. Bleacher seats are always in the sun, so be prepared to scorch and wear sunscreen, but they’re also difficult to come by. Sitting elsewhere in the stadium I advise bringing a jacket even in the heat of summer. There’s always a mysterious little breeze that occasionally blows though and can chill to the bone even in August. Opening Day it always seems to snow! Okay, that might be a little exaggeration, but it does happen. If you’re going to a game in the spring months layer up and bring a blanket. The “cheap seats” are SRO (standing room only) and eve these sell out, so plan ahead and buy your tickets early. When in doubt check out the game at a nearby bar to join in the Wrigley experience. The easiest and fastest way to get to the field on game day is by taking the Red Line El train to Addison. You won’t be able to miss the park. Parking in the area is costly and traffic is tedious so don’t drive if you don’t have to. The games are always popular but good luck getting tickets when they’re playing the White Sox or Yankees. And this year the Red Sox will be an impossible ticket.
