pretty impressive. Vince Vaughn was about 20 rows in front of me. So many options of how to approach if I dared. Good thing the Cubs suck because we got great seats - at least I think I did.
First trip to Wrigley...

experienced the Cardinals-Cubs rivalry at wrigley, very neat, unlike anywhere I've ever watched a ballgame.
They're $175 for the Saturday game against Stl. Given that it was the Astros...you still got a good deal.
and baseball is more fun in person. My niece saw a game there last year. Attended with a friend and rode the train to the park. She said it was quite an experience.
Also, the surrounding area makes it even more fun. Nothing like going to the CubbyBear either before or after the game and taking the train to/from downtown.<div>

the Cubs usually suck and the experience is great. One of my best memories of my Dad and I was when we went back in the early 90's and sat in the bleachers. It was the day Sandberg had his injury that pretty much ended his career. The beer was great, the hotdogs were enormous and the fans had a blast even though the Cubs lost badly. Before the game started they had little league players playing in the outfield with make shift diamonds and every time one of those kids hit one up in the bleachers the fans erupted. I bet those kids still remember that day as much as I do. We had more beers at Murphy's after the game and rode the El back to the Metro home. When my old man passed a few years ago I had a picture we had made in the bleachers together hoisting beers and put it in the casket with him. I really hope to take my kids there someday and have another picture made in the bleachers.
Met these ladies en route to the game on the EL
Griffey actually joked around with us during pregame. Was good stuff.
