Editorial Review for Wrigley Field – by Peter Behle
Overview
From ivy clinging to the outfield wall to the manually-operated scoreboard, Wrigley Field is the real deal. There isn't a bad spot in the intimate, 40,000-seat house, save for a few behind the supporting beams. Standard hot dogs, nachos, pretzels, peanuts and brats can be found at vendors sprinkled throughout the stadium. If you're looking for unconventional baseball fare, try one of the specialty stands or the resident sports bar, Sheffield Grill.
The Experience
The usually rowdy crowd keeps Wrigley lively with sacred traditions like throwing the opposing team's home run balls back onto the field and traditional outfield chants. Although the Cubs haven't reached a World Series since 1945, the loyal fans pack the place even in September.

I'm only Sixteen so my word may not carry much weight with the older crowd but i love Wrigley Field and there is no other stadium where that many fans will show and support a team when its forty degrees out and raining. if you've got a problem Wrigley Field then go and get your head examined or leave it alone so others can enjoy it. i love the people and the team and i hope Wrigley stay exactly the same.

Dirty place; rude people who try to pass as fans. Feared for my kids safety there. Least knowledgeable baseball crowd in the majors. Very unimpressive. Nothing but a tourist trap.
Pros: Get to see other teams.
Cons: Dirty. Rude. Obnoxious people. Drunks
