As a Chicago native that now lives in North Carolina, I spent most of my teenage years sitting behind first base at Cubs Park. Those are the best memories of those years. Now when I go back that is the one place that I always try to go. We have the brand-new Turner field in Atlanta where I can go to see the Cubs play; but, I would rather drive the 10 additional hours to get to Wrigley Field. Turner Field is nice, but, it is sterile and not someplace to watch a REAL baseball game. They have mascots running around?? What's that about??\r
\r
Parking? Who drives to Wrigley Field? There is more than enough public transport....\r
\r
Food? Eat somewhere else or bring your own\r
\r
Cramped seating? Try sitting in one of these newfangled stadiums....it's a whole lot worse!\r
\r
The atmosphere is great, the baseball awesome and the fans the best.\r
\r
GO CUBBIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!\r
\r
Pros: the wonderful atmosphere, the lake view, THE CUBS
Cons: the non-Cubs fans that are insist on going.
