With the Cubs back in town, it was time to go to a game. From the door of my brothers apartment, I can be inside Wrigley within 20 minutes. No excuse not to go.
Wrigley is definitely old school. No jumbo trons. Plenty of steal beams. People mostly stay in their seats. The atmosphere here was far more sociable and many more appeared to be interested in the game. This is what I remember about the Old Yankee Stadium and Shea.
Nice. It blows the new Yankee Stadium away. Part of the problem with the new place is that there is too much crap in the concession areas which distracts the fans from watching the game-too many food areas, TV's all over the place etc. Hence the lack of crowd noise that was ever present at the old place. And too many rich people and not enough real fans.
