LVSoxFan Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 ...for a company outing to the Cubs game in May. Don't ask. What can I say, it's a tradition. While online snagged some Cubs/Sox and thought... man, I'm buyin tickets for Sox games! It's almost that time! When you have to start planning this weekend and that weekend for Sox, you know it's near. Also, when St. Patty's Day is approaching, we know the worst of winter is behind us. And now spring training games are about to begin. Whereas last year it seemed like the gap between seasons flew by due to the Sox playing up to Halloween, this has been a good, long break. I'm ready. Just wanted to pass that warm thought along... before we get buried tomorrow, LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watchtower41 Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Wrigley is not as bad as most of us Sox fans make it out to be....the problem more lies within the team that plays there and that drunkard Ronnie Woo Woo. I'll take Wrigely any day over the House that Ruth built or Fenway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunkBomber Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 I think Wrigley can be fun if you can take the heat of getting screamed at but the stadium is a dump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to dissagree. Yankee Stadium is the Mecca of baseball parks. Never been to Fenway, But The Stadium is waaaay better than Wrigley.

I hate the fact that unless you memorize player #'s or can actually see the name on the back of the jersey, you can never tell who is on the field. Their scoreboard is useless in that regard.

pale_hose Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 I think the atmosphere is cool at wrigley, but I dont think its a good place to watch a game. 2/3 of the Cubs "fans" arent there to watch the game, they are there to drink beer at wrigley...fenway is way better than wrigley....

LosMediasBlancas Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Ok, I'll say it, when the Cubs are having a bad season, yeah Wrigley is a beer garden. BUT when the Cubs are playing well, it is an intense place to watch a game. The fans sit on every pitch, every game. I can't say the same for the Cell. Sorry.

Were you at any of the games in September 2005, particularly the Indians series? That was the most intensity I've ever felt from any fans at any sporting event.

LVSoxFan Posted February 24, 2007 Author Share Posted February 24, 2007 Guys, guys. I don't mind sitting in the sun at Wrigley on a nice day. The new bleachers are actually pretty nice. But rest assured, there is NOTHING more fun than going to Cubs/Sox at Wrigley, wearing a Sox jersey and talking trash for nine innings. Love it. Going into enemy territory wearing Sox colors--ahh that is what life is all about. The other great thing is seeing all the other Sox fans milling about, at the bars, before and after. Hopefully we'll kick their asses again this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balance Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 QUOTE(Tannerfan @ Feb 23, 2007 -> 04:24 PM) I have to dissagree. Yankee Stadium is the Mecca of baseball parks. Never been to Fenway, But The Stadium is waaaay better than Wrigley. I went to Yankee Stadium for the first time last summer. And while it's rich with history, it's dingy, cramped, and expensive. I would much rather watch a game at Wrigley than at Yankee Stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVSoxFan Posted February 25, 2007 Author Share Posted February 25, 2007 I can only imagine how expensive it is at a Yankees game these days. Sheesh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we'll kick their asses again this year. Give me a meaningful division game over a Sox/Cubs game every single time. I have no interest in baiting Cubs fans into arguments over 6 relatively meaningless games every year. The teams end up splitting the series most years anyway, so it's even more pointless. When I go to Wrigley with my wife or my Cub fan work friend, I don't care who they're playing. I just go to spend time at a ballgame with people I like.

LVSoxFan Posted February 25, 2007 Author Share Posted February 25, 2007 Oh don't get me wrong I don't go there to start trouble. All the trash-talking is between me and my Cub fan friends. Nothing serious. But seeing that I live five minutes away, you don't realize what a kick it is to see Wrigleyville overrun with people in Sox jerseys. LOL. You may even recall that last year I swear it was almost even between Cubs and Sox fans at the game. I guess what I'm saying is it's so FOREIGN to watch your team playing in a different stadium. Not unlike a road game, but with tons of Sox fans everywhere. Yes, it's meaningless but it's fun. It's a tradition. To your point about going to a Cubs game, yeah, when I go (rarely unless it's bleachers) I'm not a jerk. I just enjoy the day and clap politely for the Cubs. I just wear a Sox t-shirt underneath whatever I'm wearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been to a few crosstown games and it just seems that too many people take it too seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I'm speaking as an outsider, but that's how I assume it is, and quite frankly, it that is how it is, it's flat out wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
