Cubs games are pretty regular (during the regular season), and tickets are easy to get. They can cost anywhere from $10 to $50 depending on what seat you get. Inside the Wrigley field there are tons of hot dog vendors (selling Chicago style hot dogs of course, but also pizza, burgers, etc). There are many restaurants and bars around the stadium if you're hungry when you leave, but I'd recommend going a couple El train stop away or else you'll get caught in a mad rush.

The games are plenty of fun, there are pretty regular give aways at the gates and from surveys, etc. I got a free little Snoopy doll (Given at gates) and a free fleece Cubs blanket (bank survey). You can also bring food and drinks in if you want, just not a huge cooler (you could try haha).

Transportation to the field is easy enough, there are major thoroughfares around it, but parking is rough. My suggestion is to park several El Stations away, and to ride a bus, or catch the El, or just walk (the nearest stations are two blocks away from the field.

The games are pretty fun, even though the Cubs haven't been awesome recently. The games are never jam packed, but they can be busy. It is easy to get a large group in, but you should get tickets ahead of time.

All in all Cub's games and Wrigley field are a great way to relax and enjoy the summer and fall nights. With the sights and sounds of a ball park, especially one with such history, nothing can go wrong (except rain).

Once upon a time, it was common for baseball stadiums to have character. Outfield fences, for instance, used to be fun -- asymmetrical, sharply and inexplicably angled, sometimes really tall, sometimes really far away. Wrigley field, home of the Chicago Cubs, is one of the last of these old parks -- and is perhaps the most distinctive. While most modern parks have padded walls, to protect the multi-million dollar outfielders who are most likely to run into them, Wrigley's famous walls are made of brick. And covered in ivy, in which the ball is sometimes lost. There's no giant scoreboard to offer instant replays, highlights from other games, or (especially) ads. And no retractable roof to prevent the inconvenience of rain.

As a baseball fan, I knew all this already. What I didn't realize was how much a part of the neighborhood Wrigley Field is. It actually sits right on the edge of a residential neighborhood -- "Wrigleyville". Unlike other stadiums, which are built tall and imposing to prevent any possible viewing of the event from outside the stadium, Wrigley's far walls are short enough that viewers sitting on the roofs of bars across the street can see in. During games, fans wait on Waveland avenue, just past the outfield, to catch balls hit out of the stadium. And on any game day, people start drinking at the many local bars well before game time, continue through the game, and then on into the night. Normally this would not be noteworthy, except that most games at Wrigley field are played in the middle of the day, even during the week.

Tickets can be hard to get, as this is one of the smallest stadiums in baseball. But if you're a fan of the game, you'll just have to find a way, because this is one stadium you have to visit. If you’re not a fan, well it's still a pleasant experience, but don't expect a gaudy giant scoreboard or team mascot to entertain you. You'll get to sing "Take me out to the ballgame," led by some manner of celebrity, but mostly you will have to watch the game.

I did see a game while I was here. Wasn't much of a game, but I get the feeling that maybe baseball itself was never really the star at Wrigley to begin with. The Wrigley experience itself is. That might explain how the people of Chicago can continue to have such affection for a team that hasn't won the World Series for 100 years.

Baseball is in its purest form at Wrigley Field. The stadium was built in 1914 and little has changed since then. It is the second oldest major-league ballpark in the nation and brings feelings of nostalgia anytime you are there. Wrigley Field still has its original scoreboard, and you can tell if the Cubs won or lost their game that day by the flag flying from it (W = Win, L= Lost). You feel like you must root for the home team here (and it will be the Cubs, not the Socks); you must indulge in beer, popcorn, ice cream, and peanuts to your heart’s content; and you will sing "Take me out to the Ballgame."

I would suggest purchasing tickets online or through Ticketmaster. The scalpers jack up the prices a ton, especially if the Cubs are on a winning streak. Unlike other parks, there is really no bad seat at Wrigley Field, so you will always have a chance to watch the game or the other fans.

Getting to Wrigley Field is easy enough. I would suggest taking public transportation; just jump on the Red Line "L" and get off at Addison. You are able to see the field from the platform, so you can’t get too lost, or you could always just follow the crowds in red-and-blue apparel. There is parking but not a lot, and you will pay anywhere from $10 to $30 for parking spaces. Once again, these prices go up depending on how the Cubs do.

Once inside the stadium, make sure that you check out the buildings across the street. These are some of the best places to watch a Cubs game in Chicago. These are rooftops that are rented out on game days, usually to companies, and are fully catered. If you have a chance watch a Cubs game from these rooftops, they are arguably the best view and a unique experience.

There is tons of traditional baseball food in Chicago, and the prices reflect the fact that you are in Chicago. If you don’t feel like playing the game-day prices, I would suggest you check out some of the many restaurants located around the ballpark. In addition, if you are looking for Cubs apparel, look into a few of the shops. The prices may very well be better than the hawkers out on the street.

Wrigley Field is the host to America’s most lovable losers when it comes to baseball. In addition, there is the feeling of old-time baseball that adds to the feeling of the ballpark. Not much has changed here since 1932, when Babe Ruth called his shot (a moment in baseball history).
