awesome, i was tempted to get Bleachers but I got one next to the press box as the picture from the seat looked too good to pass up. Hopefully things are as easy to see in reality as they seem from this picture?

Cheapest place to get Cubs tickets is when they play in Pittsburgh
 Costs me nothing Costs regular fans some years off their life watching them Costs Cubs fans about $10 for good seats

Wrigley is packed beyond belief, no parking or extremely expensive parking. Ticket prices are high. I love going to the Cell, yes there are less fans but I love it. You don't have to sit shoulder to shoulder with strangers, the food tastes way better at the Cell, and it's a beautiful park. Go White Sox!

I have had a chance to go 4 times. The first time entering the ballpark from underneath to the field was baseball heaven, the way it should be at every park. As far as seating, I twice had seats in the lower level under the upperdeck, not the greatest, it was like watching the game on TV in 3D with out being able in see anything that went up in the air. Always a great experience, luckily haven't had to worry about parking.
By the way anyone is in MN during the summer, I have Twins tickets for almost every weekend. Let me know and we can see if we can work out getting together. Have fun, Sean Lee

well i am back from my Cubs night out. Just thought I would post a few pics and my experience in case anyone else is planning a cubs chicago trip and has never been.
- Took amtrak only cost $36. train trip was fine but waiting at chicago amtrak for our return trip was like something out of a really bad disaster film: way too many people crammed into one room. However the staircase from the movie "the Untouchables" was pretty cool! -Got tickets on Ebay for $27, realized face value was $20 so I missed something there. However tickets were quite good for the price (which was the cheapest tix there were). - bought CTA 1 day tickets (good for 24 hours of bus and tram) for $5.50 per. Only used it twice as tram was a germaphobes worst nightmare. We spent the extra money and took a taxi (THAT is how funky the tram was). Also, if you are at 626 n. michigan ave and are going to 524 N. Michigan ave. its not just one block down. Chicago is way big and my legs couldnt handle it! - ate at the following places: Giordanos stuffed pizzqa - got a stuffed pizza, was alright but nothing special Chik Fil-a - oooh la la! Potbellys - for breakfast, kind of bland and staff was not very friendly Benningan's - only because it was close to the Art museum where we ended up at last) - went to Art Museum - very cool! $16 per person but took us well over 5 hours to get through. Best stuff - The minature rooms! The Dorian Gray painting from the film (I am doing my worst Harpo impression in the picture) - Cubs game went well. They lost thus keeping with the predictability of our trip. - Stayed at the Omni. 4 1/2 star hotel. paid $120 with taxes through Expedia pick a hotel for ya deal. smallish room but great view and right next to all the shopping I could handle much to my chagrin. -Also, Don't pretend that you are lost as inevitably a homeless person will come to you posing as a nice person just wanting to help when in fact they are doing it all for $$$ (happened to me FOUR times, once bitten/quatro shy) There ya have it. Thanks everyone for your help and hope this helps in some sorta way? 2012-04-09_20-16-19_794.jpg 2012-04-09_13-05-05_444.jpg 2012-04-10_07-49-47_65.jpg 2012-04-10_09-54-21_126.jpg 2012-04-10_12-46-22_929.jpg

yeah its the movie painting. Was super excited to see it in person. Wished I had taken a pic of one of Albrights other paintings they had that was quite similar. A spooky door with a decrepid old hand reaching from off painting.
Yeah i think potbellys is more of a lunch kind of place. They did play some great music though! Heard Neil Young's "The Loner"

Potbelly is usually in busy urban areas and caters to office workers on lunch with limited time. I ate there once-- eh. Neither loved nor was offended by it.
One thing is they don't accept tips. Company policy. My cousin use to work for Starbucks and says he doesn't think they should accept tips either. I said "Why not?" and he said "They don't bring your coffee and food to you." Just thought that interesting as he used to be an employee. Though he was management.
