Wrigley with Small Kids...

[moorecg]

Quick question for those of you out there who have taken your kids to Wrigley. What are the rules on tickets for childern under the age of 2? Do they need them? Also...are fold up (umbrella type) strollers that will lay beneath the seats allowed into the park?

 

Thanks...I'm taking my little guy up for his first wrigley trip next Saturday and the wife is pelting me with questions...

I'm not sure about the ticket thing, but I'm pretty sure that you have to leave your stroller (no matter the size) at the gate, where you can pick it up again on the way out. (nothing fits under the Wrigley field seats)

Thanks for the response...I just got off the phone with the Cubs, and searched their websight...here is what I found.

 

Children under 2. No ticket is needed.

 

As for the Stroller...

says that:

 

The following items will be permitted:

BAGS, PURSES, FANNY PACKS AND BACKPACKS SMALLER THAN THE SIZE LIMIT 16" X 16" X 8"

SMALL SOFT-SIDED COOLERS

STROLLERS

WHEELCHAIRS

 

So it looks like I'll be in good shape...hope this info proves useful to someone else sometime...

 

regardless, Saturday should be a lot of fun. [/b]

You should probably bring some ear-muffs as well.

Are you Crazy??? :shock: :shock: :shock: :lol: :lol:

 

She's coming too...no way I'd try to pull that one off yet...he's only about 1 year old...he's done really well at the games we've been to so far down here at Busch, but there needs to be at least two of us to pass him back and forth...I'm guessing by the 4th inning he and my wife are walking the concourse while I'm watching the game.

enjoy the game - I'm making the trip up to wrigley this weekend from St Louis too!!

 

The weather is supposed to be alot nicer and cool off by the weekend as well. :)

No I was thinking wow this guy is taking his kid to the game, stroller and all without the wife. I coould hear the brass balls clanging.

 

When I was single I use to ask my friend who had kids if I could take them to the park...etc. The chicks love dad's doing daddy things.

 

It makes'um goosey

Yeah...Fatherhood is another one of those cruel tricks God plays on you...somehow things that only happen after you are "off the market" are the things that Women find most attractive.
