As promised, I'll share my photos from our trip to Wrigley Field.
Insidedge President Keith Burton has amazing seats at Wrigley, and we decided to take a walk around the stadium before entering so I could get the full effect.
You'll see that the rooftop seats are still primo, and the vintage neon sign still shines brightly.
The concourse was abuzz with fans as we entered and purchased our bison dogs. Yes, bison. The taste is different, and delicious.
All the usual warm-up activities made for fun spectacle and even watching the groundskeepers turned out to be a surprise as they wheeled out the batting cage and fit it into a space that seemed impossibly small. Their efforts defied the laws of physics!
As evening fell, the stadium and its natural turf, ivy walls and gentle breezes made the Cubs' loss seem a little less painful. We did see some home runs (and some of them were actually made by the Cubs!).
The Old Time band came around and was two rows behind us when it regaled us with peppy music to keep the crowd enthused.
My Orangemen shirt (it's an older shirt, so it says Orangemen and not Orange!) attracted a shout of "Go Orange" and I met an SU student who will be a returning student in VPA this fall. He was excited to see his school represented at Wrigley BY a Wrigley!
The evening ended with a quiet walk back to the car and ride back to the hotel.
Thanks, Keith, for an unforgettable night at the ballpark...MY ballpark, at that!
