I disagree. Big time.
Most adults can easily pass it up because a bad team playing bad baseball isn't worth my hard-earned money to watch at Wrigley. Period.
They haven't even tried to improve the team after three entire offseasons already.
Looks like the owner is really hungry to see winning baseball in his stadium.
The atmosphere for me depends on the team. If the team is damn good, and wins its peaches. I remember a couple years ago Bonds hit 753 and 754 in a crazy 9-7 game where the cubs beat the giants (people were freaking out because Bonds woulda hit 755 if the wind didnt take it foul.) I sat in the bleachers and got drunk, but Derrek Lee was driving in runs, Rami drove in runs, the cubs were clutch and fundamentally sound. It was a back and forth fun game to watch. That's an experience. When I'm not boozing it up, I do like to keep an actual scorecard of the game.
I wont sit through Rizzo, Valbuena, Castro, and Castillo still "learning the ropes;" where one game they put up 7 runs on 15 hits then the next make a rookie who's been shelled by every competent team look like a first ballet hall of famer--unless its free, and I'm planning to get hammered.
The park doesnt mean shit, especially the food. I dont eat the food there; Yeah I'm cheap and go to Bacci's 2 doors down if I'm going to booze. I really dont admire the ballpark. It's one of those things for me where I've grown up and live straight down Irving Park, and still do, so its Wrigley. I dont find it as a baseball mecca coming from bumblefuck Iowa.
