Wrigley Field tour

[inari]

I just took it today, as we got it as a mother's day present for my mom. For anyone who hasn't taken it, do it! It's awesome and while I can't speak for every tour guide, the one I had was awesome. And he had a few awesome stories.

The home clubhouse (much nicer than the visitors!)

 

That's only a few of many awesome pictures from an awesome day.

What does the visitor's clubhouse look like?

Very cool. Always wanted to make one of these but it never seems to work out. I'd be interested to see the rest of the pictures.

[E.J.]

Yes. More pics please. I can't believe I haven't gone on a tour yet.

I would also like to see any other pics you took. I wanted to go on a tour a few years ago, but they weren't offering it while I was in town.

I took one a couple of years ago and loved it.

Nice pics.

 

What does the visitor's clubhouse look like?

A closet.

 

Imagine a room about half the size of the part of the cubs lockerroom shown above. The cubs lockerroom has like a little kitchen and a weight room attached to it. The visitors does not. It's just a little square room.

I do remember Len showing the hallway from the dugout to the visitors lockerroom. It's like 5 miles long, right? :)

honestly i've never taken that trek. I went in through the door on the concourse down the 1b line.

My son and I did it a couple of years ago, and while I got it for free for a writing assignment, it's well worth the $25 they're asking. AMAZING, really. I've taken a few stadium tours, and this one is just so much more cool because of the history aspect. I think I've done the Diamondbacks and the Rangers. BEST by far, and not just because I'm a Cubs fan!

I didn't think the visitors was that bad. The Cubs' is rectangular, very narrow. The visitors' is more square. Not sure if you measured it the sizes are really all that different.

Like I said,though, the difference is that attached to the cubs is a small kitchen-like area and a room with some weight equipment. The visitors is just that tiny little square.

i agree, i would imagine the Cubs clubhouse being more cramped because its so narrow

We took the tour about two weeks ago it was absolutely amazing. The visitors' locker room actually does have a kitchen/break room area attached to it for players and a seperate trainer's room. It's by no means as nice as the Cubs' locker room, but it's not THAT bad. The cool thing is that it's the same location as it's always been (the Cubs' locker room has changed three times) so it's the same locker room that Ruth and such historic players used. Kind of a cool feeling walking around in there.

 

I took a ton of pictures also(including our favorite Cubs reporter Bruce's seat - he's got a great view of the games). I'll post some of the best when I get a chance.

No wonder Cubs players siad they wouldn't mind a new stadium after playing in Milwaukee against Houston. That clubhouse would seem to be a bit claustrophobic when the rest of the team and reporters are in there
