Too early for me to complain, so I'll just decline to comment on today's game. Here are a few pics I took.

 

EDIT - Ok, here are smaller ones. Hope they work.

Best I've ever had in my life and probably best I ever will have. Picked em up the morning they put the dugout boxes on sale.

 

Value dates FTW

Thanks for the pics. I love the place. I'm going Saturday with my son -- he's turning 21 and he'd better buy me a beer -- and I'm looking forward to it. Hopefully, we'll be a .500 team by then.

No problem. Have fun.

 

 

OK, resized and rehosted for you d-bags. Hope these work (different host).

Ok, apparently they don't work, even though I reloaded a million times to make sure. Ugh.

 

EDIT - Or maybe they do. You guys let me know.

I don't know I would probably still rather sit in the bleacher's. The atmosphere out there just kicks butt.

They look great - not too big at all. Nice photos.

I absolutely hate the bleachers. I've sat there maybe 4-5 times. It sucks having to get there incredibly early to get close up. It sucks having to wade through tons of people to get everywhere and hope that your spot is still there when you come back (particularly when you're there with a couple friends and a few of you get up to make a beer run). It sucks not being able to lean back at all. Everything about it sucks, except maybe the "atmosphere," which, while cool, isn't nearly enough to make up for all that other crap. /rant

 

I'll take the Field Boxes or Upper Deck any day (just no Terrace Reserved, plz, they blow).

I agree, thanks David.

If your son is an Illinois resident they're not going to let him buy beer. I turned 21 over 2 months ago but was told at Wrigley that I couldn't buy beer because my ID says "Under 21 Until January 31, 2008".

 

When I explained that it says UNTIL a date that has already passed, the manager told me that while "there was no denying" that I'm 21, it's the policy of the house not to sell to anyone who has "under 21 until" on their ID. It's probably the dumbest policy I've ever heard of -- in place no doubt to prevent the morons who check IDs from getting "confused". The result is that now I either need to go to the DMV to get a license that isn't expired, get someone to buy me beer, or use a fake -- which are never sniffed out.

I'm guessing they did that because kids used to doctor the red IDs to make them look like they were over 21. My ex (and all her friends, actually), who was born in 84, used a red pen to fill in the number 4 so that it looked like a 1 (since the b-date is in white numbers on a red box). Viola, real fake ID that always worked, despite the fact that the ID still had the right "under 21 until" date on it. Probably only worked because they were girls.

 

Anyway, zero tolerance on red IDs = none of that crap.

This happened to me in my hometown grocery store. I was outraged.

David- How's the infield crown? Were you much lower than field level?

 

Looked good and pretty flat to me. I could see the whole field pretty easily.

This happened to me in my hometown grocery store where I had formerly worked. I was also outraged.
