I actually lived within walking distance of Wrigley during one summer. I live in San Francisco now and my memories of Wrigley are extremely fond. Even on a humid 90 plus degree summer I never got over being at a game at this great ballpark. I hope I can get back here soon some day even though here we have this new park that the Giants play at. I still am fond of Wrigley; I grew up in the midwest several hundred miles away and saw the Cubs on WGN with Harry Carrey announcing the games as a kid. What an awesome thrill it was to finally go to a game here. Don't get rid of this park Chicago; trust me you will regret it. It has it's annoying points but after not being here for a few years now I can't wait until I can get up some vacation time because I will come back to Wrigley for sure. Sometimes the new ballpark gets on my nerves because it's almost TOO new with flat panel plasma screens and sushi. Wrigley Field doesn't try to pretend to be a giant Wi Fi park or a winery or a high tech sports bar with a game playing in the background. This is were you go to WATCH the game because all that other stuff isn't here and that's a good thing. I wouldn't even complain about drinking an Old Style beer anymore.
Pros: It's Wrigley Field; A baseball landmark, the ivy, the ambience, the game
Cons: Parking, take the El
