I rather enjoyed it. Our seats were outstanding. 'Bout 15 rows from 1st base dugout.

When the Cubs are in a pennant race (pretty rare) there is no better place than Wrigley. Even when they're terrible (80% of the time) it's still a unique experience. I'm a huge Cubs fan though, so maybe I'm biased. But I've been to Wrigley in the Summer of Sosa, 2003 (suck my dick Dusty Baker) and 2008 when they seemingly never lost a game all summer and the place is flat out special. Honestly, the only sporting events I've been to that could compare were during undergrad at OSU--- vs Michigan in 2006 and vs USC in 2009. I've been to BCS title games and every Final Four since the early 2000s and IMO those events can't hold a candle to Wrigley in a summer when the Cubs are relevant.

Hope you bought all the permits for parking and keep up with the street cleaning and plowing in the winter.... or get towed/ticket ...
The car maybe nice now but could be a problem later...

My daughter has a car .. other than driving it home every other month she put less that 50 miles a month on it ...

Luckily the Cubs are never relevant when I go. :)
