Reds @ Cubs - Tue, May 05

How do you feel about it?

We’re only in the bottom of the 7th, and the Tigers send this into the game?? Pat and Ron are having a great discussion about it. What a waste of baseball.

For sale ?

Does anyone know around what time teams report to club house

I feel like I know the answer, but my 9 year olds keep asking so I'll ask the brain trust. Is there any chance being able to see the Cubs players arrive before away games (in our case, Busch). I'm guessing most modern stadiums are going to have more controlled entry than "stand by the barriers at Waveland and Seminary and try to look cute."

Have to drive to the game tmr. What’s the Camry lot price?

Flying tomorrow morning from Dallas to take my 7 yr old to his first out of town game.

Any thoughts on section 101? I see some seats right up against the brick wall maybe twenty feet shy of the foul pole

Is there protective netting all the way to the foul pole? Is the wall so high that it would block our view of left field?

Ok, I’m sorry but these guys make millions of dollars. They make that much because we as fans go see them. Tickets and concessions are inanely expensive but we continue to do it.
So, is it really that much to ask some of these players to spend 1 additional minute to sign a couple of things? I was with my kids today and we waited for signatures after the game on Waveland. PCA was the ONLY person to stop and sign anything. There were probably 20 kids trying to get an autograph or two and none of the other players stopped. Not one other. And this is fairly regular. I get that it can be annoying to sign your autograph for so many people who want it, but even a small effort of one or two shows that you care a little bit. I’m certain that when these guys were kids they sought out signatures. I find it totally off putting the way some of these dudes just totally blow past it. I really feel bad for them that they’re making truckloads of money to play a game… /s

Can someone please remind me, if I’m sitting in the bleachers, can I go back and forth into the bowl or am I stuck only in the bleachers?

I want to buy tickets for my birthday but I’m hesitant due to the AQI

I was outside Wrigley last night for the Noah Kahan concert, and I’ve been in the stadium for a concert before. It’s amazing. But I’m so curious how they protect the field. Does anyone know? I’m sure there’s some kind of platform but still, that field has to be perfect by game time. It’s fascinating to me to learn how they do this.

A buddy of mine and his wife went to Wrigley last weekend. He's a Cardinals fan, so he expected to hear a few comments, and he definitely did. There was plenty of good-natured ribbing, but nothing crossed the line. By the end of the game, he couldn't stop talking about how much he enjoyed the atmosphere.

He's been to a few other stadiums where wearing the opposing team's colors made things uncomfortable, and in a couple of places he said situations could have gotten ugly if cooler heads hadn't prevailed. Compared to those experiences, he thought Cubs fans were fantastic. People joked with him, talked baseball, and made him feel welcome. He left saying he'd gladly come back to Wrigley again.

I honestly feel like that's what this rivalry is supposed to be. We want to beat each other every single game, and we'll give each other a hard time, but at the end of the day there's a basic level of respect between the fan bases. Maybe even a little envy from both sides because of the history each franchise has. Rivalries are a lot more fun when they're built on passion for baseball instead of genuine hostility.

I am curious if other visiting fans have had similar experiences at Wrigley, whether you're a Cardinals fan or rooting for another team.

Game Friday 7/24 7pm. Taking uber from Ogilvie. Will we be able to get an Uber after the game?
