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 mattersā¦
O.K., I could not resist. According to one source:
āWhen 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 isnāt 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 dogāplus parkingāfor a more comprehensive financial picture of a trip to the ballpark.ā
And the winner (loser) isā¦Wrigley Field and the Chicago Cubs.
Been there once. Hated the fans. Will never go back.
As always, YMMV, but please donāt try and convince me I imagined it.
Thatās a shame. Never had a bad experience at either Chicago ballparkā¦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 āsee all the ballparksā goal that we chatted with that were equally unimpressed.
Iāve had bad nights at other stadiums too; I admit to anti-Cub bias willingly, so donāt consider me a neutral observer.
The food at The Cell is unmatched anywhere, and Iāve 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.
Eighth shutout of the year.
One in every series.
Heck of a team.
Cubs did not lose today!
āCourse they didnāt play either.
I think Iām due to visit Wrigley field as it has been too long. My wife is all in on this one.
Cubbies put a Five-Spot on the board in the first against the āStros.
Good start!
3-21. 8 shoutouts. One shutout every series.
3 Wās!!
Some kind of a record?
3-22.
Sing the song!
Cubs 3, Astros 1
That the recordā¦or did they disappoint you again this afternoon?
Thatās their record. I was updating it each additional loss.
Sorry. Iāll stop. Itās pretty bleak.
Commiserate with us as much as needed.
Thatās what this āsupport groupā 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 parkās 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.
