The Fighting Illini and Northwestern Wildcats have scheduled a football game to be played at Wrigley Field this year on November 20 at 11am.  How will it look you ask?  Well MPS has created a photoshop of the most likely scenario. It seems like a very cool idea.  The Winter Classic was amazing and although [...]

The Ricketts family has taken over and they are already starting to make their presence felt.  We have heard about all the changes they plan on implementing around the park, the experience and the Organization in general.  On-field personnel?  Seems to be an afterthought, oh well.  David Kaplan has explained some more of the changes [...]

I went to Wrigley Field for the Cubs-Astros game on Saturday.  Bobby Scales scored on a walk-off hit to win the game after Gregg blew a 4-run lead in the 9th.  While the game itself was exciting, and my seats were insanely good (thanks Ethan), the real highlight of the game was my attempts to [...]

Zambrano made some ill-advised comments this weekend about Wrigley Field.  After seeing how nice the new Yankee Stadium was, Big Z had this to say: “You come into a ballpark like this and you see great things,” the Cubs ace told The Associated Press on Saturday before his team’s 10-1 exhibition loss at the sparkling [...]

Check out the site Franchise Trees. They are pretty cool. Well that Rose Bowl kind of sucked. Penn State got hammered. Joe-Pa hasn’t lost like this since the Great Depression. If you want the Cubs to get Milton Bradley, maybe you better take a look at this. The Bulls have no defensive identity. In fact, [...]

An interesting look at whether Jordan or Pippen could have stopped Lebron. Apparently Toews and Kane are inching closer to all-star bids. Vote now! What is this new hotel/complex that is being built across from Wrigley Field. I’m a “purist” (whatever that means), so I don’t like the idea but it wouldn’t be the worst [...]

Just kidding. Did you really believe that title? Anyways, my buddy Andrew does have 2 tickets to the game at Wrigley Field. The seats are in Section 4, Row 11, seats 111 and 112. They are $350 a ticket, $700 for the pair. Email andrewjfine@gmail.com if you are interested. Here’s a holiday option: buy the [...]

Our friends over at Hugging Harold Reynolds have launched a new site about eating food on the road at other ballparks. It is called Fan Foodie and here is what its about: FanFoodie is for the frequent traveler who makes it a point to attend sporting events when on the road, and has a penchant [...]

Cubs lost. I’m not linking anything about it. It’s not like you don’t know or can’t read about it EVERYWHERE. The best way to make anything relevant or interesting is to make a nude calendar. Curling included. Dwayne Wise tried to save them, but the Sox still lost on a typical Javy effort. When a [...]

This picture comes from Home Run Derby, which has an article about the worst seats in baseball stadiums across America. If you’ve been to Wrigley, you have definitely had seats like this, though I have never seen one this bad. Wow. It almost makes you want the Cubs to tear down Wrigley and build a [...]
