Anecdotally, I would not include Chicago in the top 5 most expensive average cost to attend a MLB game.
I wonder what the facts are though.
If only there was some way to quickly research such matters…

O.K., I could not resist. According to one source:
“When it comes to ticket prices alone, the Boston Red Sox topped the list with an average cost of $61.71. But as many baseball fans will tell you, simply sitting in the stadium isn’t the full experience: You have to indulge in at least one trip to the concession stand. With that in mind, Time2play also factored in the average price of two beers and a hot dog—plus parking—for a more comprehensive financial picture of a trip to the ballpark.”
And the winner (loser) is…Wrigley Field and the Chicago Cubs. 
Been there once. Hated the fans. Will never go back.
As always, YMMV, but please don’t try and convince me I imagined it.
That’s a shame. Never had a bad experience at either Chicago ballpark…unless you count having beer dumped on me from the upper deck at the old Comisky Park when I was a youngster.
Bad architectural design if you ask me.

It was probably a factor of it being a Cardinals game, but there were two other guys from the west coast in our section that were visiting as part of a “see all the ballparks” goal that we chatted with that were equally unimpressed.
I’ve had bad nights at other stadiums too; I admit to anti-Cub bias willingly, so don’t consider me a neutral observer.
The food at The Cell is unmatched anywhere, and I’ve been to my share of parks.

The one and only Wrigley game I attended is permanently burned into my memory data set as magical. It was a day game, I was a kid.

Heck of a team.

That the record…or did they disappoint you again this afternoon?
That’s their record. I was updating it each additional loss.
Sorry. I’ll stop. It’s pretty bleak.
Commiserate with us as much as needed.
That’s what this “support group” is all about.

Last night I watched the replay of 16 May Athletics @ Astros.
For some odd reason, I suddenly grew a severe dislike for umps announcing rulings via microphone to the ball park’s PA system.
Hopefully, it was an anomaly for me.
I guess visiting Wrigley Field is just what the Pirates needed to turn their season around.
SMH
And quietly the Stros are turning things around. Winners of 6 in a row, 8 of their last 10.
