Wrigley Field
 
Wrigley Field is an old, beat dump. Go to Sox Park for clean seats, wash rooms with toilets and not troughs, a real baseball team and good food.

What is a "Sox Park"? Is that a TV show like "South Park"?

The neighborhood around Comisky is terrible. I have to run from the El stop to the stadium, and the upper decks are so steep that only mountain goats feel comfortable walking them. Plus the Sox are owned by that moron Jerry "throw in the towel in July when my team is only 3 games out of first" Reinsdorf.

Sox park sounds like a good one. Where in the Hell is Sox park?????

It's where the World Series bound Chicago White Sox play and beat the stinken Cubs every year.

My husband drags me to the occasional baseball game. IMHO the best parks are the ones where they bring beer right to your seat. I recall "Old Style" at Wrigley Field several years back, and that was good. Tiger Stadium, Skydome and the one in Boston (can't remember name - Green Monster) were not as good as you had to get off your butt to get a beer - I hate that.

If you go to Comisky park you better bring your bulletproof vest and AK-47 with you to get to the park. Wrigley is one the the last remaining true ballparks and a truly enjoyable experience.

IMHO, forget going to any major park, and head for the minors. Lots of room, pretty safe, beer at your seat, and close enough for the umpire to clearly hear what you yelled at him.

To Gmoney<BR>Try to park your car around The Confines. I'll cost you a bundle and you'll be luckey it's in one piece. Comiskey Park has plenty of safe parking and is is the safest ballpark in the country. There isn't one good thing good about that old dump Wrigley. Maybe the vines, but I hear there holding up the decaying walls. You have never been there or you wouldn't have sent the post that you sent.

Spoken like a true American...must have new new new new everything. Drink a few more beers at the game and that will cure your case of stagefright as you stand over those stainless steel troughs. It's a ballpark, not a 4 star restaurant. And lets realize, it's not Sox Park anymore...something like U.S. Cell Phone Field until THAT wireless company goes bottoms up and puts Joan Cusack out of a job. Sellouts.
