Football games, soccer tournaments and parades have all been cancelled after a strong storm system left Arizona a soggy mess, but forecasters say the state can expect more rain and snow through the weekend. Flood waters started to recede in some areas late Friday after a day of record rainfall, but a flood watch remained in effect through midday Saturday for much of south-central Arizona. Winter weather advisories were also issued by the National Weather Service for the Flagstaff and Grand Canyon areas. Nearly an inch and a quarter of rain fell in Phoenix by Friday evening, marking a new daily record. In Tucson, power outages were reported and firefighters recovered the body of a man who was swept away by high water in the Santa Cruz River.

2008 Dodge Avenger
Sort of a front-drive, 7/8-scale version of the Charger, the Avenger comes with 4- or 6-cylinder power and starts at under $19,000.
By May 3, 2007
The Avenger is back, sans its super-hero attributes. In a previous life the Dodge Avenger was a 2-door Stratus. Now, the all-new 2008 Avenger is a sedan; one that's roughly the same size as the Stratus it replaces, but with an extra 4 in. of height. It is based on the platform of the Chrysler Sebring.
Its styling falls in line with other Dodge models, meaning it has substance and character that won't wilt in the sun. The cross-hair grille, hooded headlamps, rear fender arches and other details call to mind the Charger.
To be initially offered in 2007 are the SE, SXT and R/T models, while later in 2007 an all-wheel-drive R/T will make its debut.
The interior quality is much like the Sebring's. The gauges are hard to see in daylight, because they are recessed. Upright seating is higher than one might expect in a sedan, but there is ample head room. Hard plastics are still in abundance, but mostly in places that passengers don't touch. The rear seating is ample for a sedan in this price range.
A welcome feature is the Chill Zone, an air-conditioned storage box capable of holding four soda cans. A rear-seat video system is available a worthy feature at this price level and in this segment. If you order the Premium Convenience Group, one of the Avenger's two front center cupholders can heat a beverage to 140 degrees Fahrenheit or chill it to 35 degrees perfect for your coffee or your Coke.
The base SE starts at $18,895. It features the slightly-too-noisy 2.4-liter inline-4 World Engine that produces a healthy 173 bhp and 166 lb.-ft. of torque. Power routed through the 4-speed automatic transmission gives adequate performance. At its respectably low price, the SE is more than acceptable transportation that offers the owner front, side and curtain airbags, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, an MP3-capable CD player, keyless entry and 16-in. steel wheels. Noticeably absent are ABS and rear disc brakes.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"We ordered a sample with the blue trees and red writing. We liked it, but decided to order our invites with the brown writing. It looks so much better that way! We are having a winter wedding, so we thought the blue tree looks like it was covered in ice and the brown is more natural looking than the red writing."
"I am absolutley in love with these. They came out beautifully. My wedding is in the fall and these matched my theme so well. At the time I placed my order there was a mix up as to how the finish was to be on my order. Instead of arguing with me, WPD made the corrections and shipped it FEDEX to me straight away. The customer service, the desgins, the quality of products are all what make Wedding Paper Divas the perfect place to order from for the budget bride."
"I personally did not add any images or additional text to the invite, and I left the colors the same as shown, because it was perfect the way it was. The paper is sturdy and looks great. I just put in the order for my wedding invitations and I am excited to see how they turn out! The free sample service is fantastic because then you get to feel the invite and make sure they don't look cheap :)"
"I personalized the color, fonts and wording. This template let me choose a design and I was able to customize everything else. LOVE the shimmer paper. Makes it look more formal, and elegant."
"Great design. I'm marrying a Chinese-American and was happy to find something that included his family's culture. I loved the design, but wanted to customize it with my color theme. The design team was very responsive to my wishes and very fast! I got the proofs back in 24 hours! After it was all approved they were shipped out super fast also. I paid extra for 4 day shipping and I got it in 3 days. Works out great because I'm running late on my deadlines!"

Adult Nonfiction PS3557.O384 Z476 2000
Summary: William Goldman'sAdventures in the Screen Tradewas a classic for moviephiles, revealing all the secrets behind the business of the big screen. Now, screenwriter extraordinaire Goldman returns to give us the latest lowdown on Hollywood moviemaking. He dishes the dirt, adventure by adventure, from his most recent films -- the successesandthe failures --Â Â with inside anecdotes from such star-studded sets asThe Princess Bride, Misery, andAbsulote Power. We find out what it's like to work with Mel Gibson, Michael Douglas, Richard Donner, Rob Reiner, Clint Eastwood, and all the rest of Hollywood's major power players. But this is much more than just a tourist's guide to the backlot. Goldman conducts a virtual writer's clinic: he tells us exactly what works on film and why, dissecting classic moments in great screenplays ranging from the crop-dusting scene inNorth by Northwestto the zipper scene inThere's Something about Mary. He gives us insider tips on everything from good storytelling to effective pitch-making, and he shows us where his ideas come from and what he does with them when they get there. Finally, he brings together some of today's top screenwriters to analyze, doctor, or destroy a screenplay he created just for this book. Enlightening as well as entertaining,Which Lie Did I Tell'is certain to follow its predeccesor as the definitive guide to the real workings behind the glitzy facade of contemporary Hollywood. "Bill Goldman has proven, once again, that he is the most observant, knowledgeable and intuitive screenwriter in the business today." -- Joe Roth, Producer and former Chairman, Walt Disney Studios "Almost as great as an evening with the irrepressible, brilliant, sometimes infuriating, always original -- one and only Bill." -- Joel Schumacher, Director

UCI awarded $2 million to become living laboratory for sustainable energy practices
Project will help communities establish climate-neutral infrastructures
The UC Irvine campus will become a living renewable energy laboratory under a statewide program designed to make electricity generation and transportation safer, cleaner and more affordable for Californians.
The Advanced Power & Energy Program at The Henry Samueli School of Engineering has been awarded $2 million over three years to create a roadmap for a cost-effective and reliable energy infrastructure that maximizes use of renewable resources such as solar photovoltaics, wind and biomass fuels while improving transportation, waste management and energy efficiency in buildings. Lessons learned at UCI will help communities establish their own flexible, secure and climate-neutral energy infrastructures.
The California Energy Commission awarded UCI nearly $1 million for the project. The balance includes in-kind support from partners such as Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. and CTG Energetics.
The project will build on UCI's existing research and commitment to sustainable energy practices. Scientists will identify issues that policymakers and industry leaders must address to encourage changes in the way Californians generate and use electricity.
"The living laboratory will include the existing 1 megawatt solar installation, building-efficiency practices and energy infrastructure," said APEP director Scott Samuelsen, mechanical, aerospace & environmental engineering professor. "Our research also will involve the city of Irvine and the Orange County Great Park."
Managed by Samuelsen, the endeavor will involve APEP faculty, staff and students; the National Fuel Cell Research Center; the California Institute for Telecommunications & Information Technology; and the Institute of Transportation Studies.
The project leverages UCI's energy-efficient design and operations overseen by Wendell Brase, vice chancellor for administrative & business services.
Said Brase: "The stature of UCI serving as a living laboratory for advanced energy research is a testament to the years of collaboration between the engineering research and business operations of the university."
About the Advanced Power & Energy Program: Established in 1970 with the creation of the UCI Combustion Laboratory, APEP at The Henry Samueli School of Engineering is an umbrella entity that addresses the broad utilization of energy resources and the emerging nexus of electric power generation, infrastructure, transportation, water resources and the environment.
About the University of California, Irvine: Founded in 1965, UCI is a top-ranked university dedicated to research, scholarship and community service. Led by Chancellor Michael Drake since 2005, UCI is among the fastest-growing University of California campuses, with more than 27,000 undergraduate and graduate students, 1,100 faculty and 9,200 staff. The top employer in dynamic Orange County, UCI contributes an annual economic impact of $4.2 billion. For more UCI news, visit www.today.uci.edu.
News Radio: UCI maintains on campus an ISDN line for conducting interviews with its faculty and experts. Use of this line is available for a fee to radio news programs/stations that wish to interview UCI faculty and experts. Use of the ISDN line is subject to availability and approval by the university.

We think this video clip gives you a brief insight into what the Detroit Lions must have gone through when Matt Millen was in charge. During his eight-year tenure, Millen led to the franchise to the worst eight-year record in the history of the modern NFL (31-97). Now a football commentator for ESPN, in this clip Millen claims Steve Young doesn't know what goes on in the Vikings locker room.
Apparently you didn't have much of a clue what was going on in your locker room Matt so we'll take Steve's opinion on this one, thank you.
Below the clip of what happened during Monday Night Countdown, is a video of Millen wanted to happen to Steve Young's head as he glared at him during the exchange.

Remember 2008? The good times? When quarterback Brian Johnson used a cast of characters that included Matt Asiata, Freddie Brown, Brent Casteel and others to run a varied offense that drove opponents and even some Utah fans crazy?
Though inconsistent at times — heck, Johnson was even booed occasionally — that offense nevertheless was good enough to notch the Utes an undefeated season. So if it worked once, why not try it again, right?
Tale of two Ute offenses

With Johnson now back in control, this time in the press box and not on the field, the Utes are going back to the future in their offensive design for 2012.
Gone, they say, is the conservative play-calling of 2012. In its place is a renewed spread offense that stresses versatility.
"It's just about using all of our weapons," quarterback Jordan Wynn said. "We have a lot of guys who can help us so it's fun."
The Utes planned to be more dynamic last year, but that plan was dashed when Wynn suffered his season-ending shoulder injury in the fourth game of the season.
With Jon Hays unable to duplicate Wynn's passing threat, the Utes were forced to rely on running back John White for offense.
He delivered, rushing 316 times for 1,519 yards to set a school record for most rushing yards in a season.
Utah's one-dimensional approach was good enough to earn it a winning season and a bowl victory, but Utah coach Kyle Whittingham doesn't really want to go through another season of the John White show.
Bothering him the most about Utah's poor passing game was that it translated into a lack of points on the board. The Utes were ninth in the Pac-12, averaging just 25 points a game last year and were last in passing offense, averaging 173.23 yards a game.
"The red zone offense was just average, and the passing game wasn't anywhere near enough," he said. "By design we had to play more ball control football, but we need to be more wide open this year."
Enter Johnson, who believes he can give the Utes enough options to keep defenses guessing, just as he did when he was quarterbacking the Utes.
He is the fifth coordinator to serve since Whittingham took over the program in 2005. While there has been some talk that Whittingham simply can't find an offense he likes and that impatience has led to some of the coaching turnover, Johnson is confident he can craft a game plan that will win Whittingham over.
"The one thing about the offense is you have to let the personnel dictate what you do," Johnson said. "You have to utilize every player's strengths."
Last year, when Wynn went down, so too did the plans for using Utah's tight ends and receivers as much as the Utes had hoped.
Now, with not only Wynn returning but also the addition of freshman quarterback Travis Wilson, the Utes believe not even another injury to their quarterback would hurt their plans for 2012.
"We have a lot of depth and a lot of talent," Johnson said. "Last year we were forced to do some things and we didn't score a lot of points, but I feel good about our skill positions this year."
Utah has speed in receivers DeVonte Christopher, Kenneth Scott and Dres Anderson and a solid tight end lineup with David Rolf and Jake Murphy. Also figuring into offensive plans is senior Dallin Rogers at H-back. The senior missed spring ball while recovering from knee surgery but has returned in good shape and could be in for a big year, particularly since the Utes had plans to start Harvey Langi in a two-back set.
With Langi leaving on an LDS Church mission, Rogers should step into that role, Whittingham said.
"He is that type of player who can handle the blocking aspect and catch the football," Whittingham said.
So how much of Utah's offense could be classified as a true spread? The Utes maintain the offensive scheme won't look like a drastic departure from a year ago. Whittingham calls it a "modified spread."Next Page >

Wrigley Field (map it)
1060 W Addison
Chicago, IL 60613
Year Opened: 1914
Capacity: 41,159
There are no tickets available at this time.
Going to Wrigley is a pilgrimage. Most ardent baseball fans will say it�s one of the places you just HAVE to visit to truly call yourself a fan. Those people are correct. On its surface, is a game at Wrigley the best possible baseball experience? Absolutely not, but it is a singular experience. Wrigley, like Fenway Park, takes you back 100 years and cements the bond between baseball fans of the past, and those of us watching today.
After Fenway (1912) and Wrigley (1914), the next oldest park still hosting major league games is Dodger Stadium (1962). That�s a 50 year head start on culture and tradition. It�s a must see, preferably in the daytime. I would go as far as to say go twice: Sit in the stands once, and in the bleachers once, as it is also a completely unique experience.
The FANFARE scale is our metric device for rating each stadium experience. It covers the following:
Each area is rated from 0 to 5 stars with 5 being the best. The overall composite score is the "FANFARE Score".
Concessions at Wrigley Field run the full gamut, and there are all sorts of options, but I recommend going with a true Chicago experience: Two dogs, Chicago style and an Old Style beer. They serve an official Chicago footlong, but if the seeded bun doesn't do much for you, get a couple of regular dogs, and head to the Chicago stand for the condiments.
During my most recent visit, we were shocked to see a $15 order of Super Slugger Nachos on the board. I had no idea what could possibly constitute a $15 nacho order. When we ordered it, the vendor rolled his eyes, and I knew we were on to something good. I'm a fan of the ballpark nacho, and I'm usually happy with the small tray... cheese and salsa in the side cups, and pretty thankful when jalapenos are offered. Not today. The Super Slugger is served in a full size plastic batting helmet - completely assembled. Layers of chips, cheese, salsa, black olives, green onion. It's a masterpiece, and if you have 3 or 4 people to help you get through it, it carries my highest recommendation. Best ballpark nachos I've ever come across.
Besides, the plastic batting helmet will cost you $13 in the souvenir stand, so the nachos are practically free. The cholesterol check may cost you extra. The cheap promo foam fingers we received made excellent sponges for cleaning out the helmet for the return trip.
Other Chicago favorites to consider include the Italian Beef Sandwich, D'Agostinos pizza and the Malt cup for dessert. Oddities include a Bison Dog (which is also delicious), a Veggie Chopped Salad, Mai Tai's and a Gluten Free stand.
Inside the park, the gametime atmosphere is first-class. The only experience that tops being in the seats at Wrigley for me is being in the bleachers. You're on top of the ivy, and these bleachers just feel so much closer to the action than any other outfield seats I know. The iconic hand operated scoreboard is massive from this vantage point.
The bleachers can get a little rowdy, but the Cubs have done wonders to allow a little frivolity and public intoxication, yet require that it remain family friendly, in a PG-13 kind of way. My teenage kids were very comfortable, and the one group that was getting a little rowdy were managed beautifully by the staff... A little bit of a time-out, but no ejections.
The atmosphere starts by the time you get on the Red Line subway (The "L"). As you get closer to the ballpark, more and more Cubs jerseys appear, and there's a forced intimacy as the trains are packed even two hours before game time. As you step off the train, you're immediately immersed in all that is Wrigleyville. This includes the good, and the bad. The level of ticket-hawking and scalper shops is unlike any other ballpark I've attended. I do appreciate the souvenir shops on the outside, though, as they have a more interesting assortment than you'll find inside the park. Plus, Wrigleyville provides excellent people watching.
Come as early as you can and make at least one full lap around the stadium. Be sure to head out behind the bleachers, and look for the Ballhawks during batting practice. Some of these guys have been catching BP and game home runs for almost 50 years.
Everyone gathers at the main entrance with the Welcome to Wrigley Field message board and the Ernie Banks statue, but there are great photo opportunities all around the park. Look for the charter buses that line up just to the right of the main entrance. You'll see a small chain link fence that will allow you to greet the players as they step off the bus and into the ballpark from about 3 feet away. Probably the closest vantage point, and best spot for autographs afterwards.
There are so many great options around the Wrigleyville neighborhood that it's impossible to cover everything here. Everyone has their personal favorites, so again, this relies mostly on personal preference. Slugger's, the Cubby Bear, and Murphy's Bleachers are the more large scale and well-known bars. They each have their place in the pantheon of establishments, and may be worth the visit,
Another great spot that comes highly recommended is Goose Island on Clark for the great burgers and overall good food, as well as the local brews that are all tasty. It's fairly big and can get crowded like the rest, but it's slightly less well-known than the three I mentioned above, so you have a better chance to get a table.
One off the radar choice is the Gingerman Tavern. It doesn't get real full with Cubs fans either before or after the game, so it's a good place to meet up with folks for a drink or two. They have a good selection of beers.
Just be sure to give yourself plenty of time to enjoy what may be the very best neighborhood in all of professional sports.
Cubs fans are among the best in baseball. They're brash and a little crude, but they respect the game, and they're acutely aware of the action, no matter how much they've had to drink. During my most recent visit, the Reds were in town, and the fans travel to Chicago pretty readily. However, the Cubs fans are not at all harsh to fans in other jerseys. I wouldn't feel safe in Fenway's bleachers wearing a Yankee Jersey, but the Reds contingent near us in Chicago were welcomed, not shunned.
Alfonso Soriano seems to have a good relationship with the LF bleacher Bums, which is a good thing. Despite some truly horrible outfield play, they tend to cut him a break. The Cubs made five errors at this game, and the fans were upset, but it never got ugly... despite the four hour game time.
The public transportation is the only way to go. There aren't many places to park in Wrigleyville to begin with, and generally your best bet is to make an advance reservation online, and the parking will still cost you close to the price of a good ticket to the game.
While the public transportation is clean, and runs efficiently, there's just no way to get 40,000 people on one train. It's a packed sweaty mess, especially after a 4 hour day game loss. Best bet is to hang around the ballpark for about an hour after the game (check out the shops, grab a post game drink, whatever), and let the crowd die down. You'll still probably have to wait for a train or two before you can get in, but the frustration factor is greatly reduced.
From an ROI standpoint, Wrigley reminds me of Disney World. If you have kids, you know at some point you're going to have to go to Disney. It's going to be incredibly expensive, and you can't possibly put together an accounting sheet that says you've gotten your money's worth, unless you drag your kid around the park at 100 miles an hour to make sure they see everything.
But what parents have to learn about Disney, and holds true to Wrigley Field, is in order to extract the value, you have to slow down. You can't see it all, so don't try. Yes, it's going to be pricey... realize that, and move on. Enjoy what you can, and the value is not in what you see, do or eat, but in the smiles you receive in the end. You just witnessed a game in one of the true cathedrals of baseball. Having experienced Wrigley this time with two teenagers making their first visits, I know this to be true.
It's Wrigley... enough said. The Ivy, the brick, the atmosphere, the neighborhood, the fans. A Cubs game is a singular experience. It's not one thing that makes the extras here, it's everything that is a Cubs game. Yankees fans are passionate, but aloof. There's an expectation of winning and greatness.
Secondly, you're in Chicago: truly one of America's great cities. I grew up outside New York, and worked in Manhattan, so I won't even get in the fight about greatest cities, but Chicago is truly picturesque. Hop off the Red Line in the Loop. Walk the Magnificent Mile, head out towards Navy Pier. Stroll down along Lake Michigan towards the museums and Soldier Field. There is so much to see and do. Just make sure Wrigley Field is a part of your itinerary in the Windy City.
Wrigley Field is a baseball mecca, and you must visit. Don't rush. Give it time to sink in. Then stay awhile and truly enjoy what Chicago and Wrigleyville in particular lays out in front of you. It is why sports fans go to games.

Took in this game today with Paul Swaney (Co-Founder and Writer of Review), have to agree with Paul this place just flows over with great tradition just walking around the park will give you chills. Then you walk in to the many years of tradition and the take a view of the beautiful Ivy covered outfield, where some of the greatest outfielders have covered. Food is nothing extroidnary but the Italian Beef is worth the 7 bucks. The crowd is one of a kind, and the 7th inning "Take me out to the Ballgame" is better than any other. I as well am a fan of the GingerMan great variety of beers at a cheap price, and isn't super crowded during gametime. Overall park is a must see for any Baseball fan, and would like to thank Paul enjoyed the experience.

The dugout & bullpen box seats are so worth it. The weather is usually decent and they're the most affordable in April and May.
When I lived by Wrigley we bought tix on the Terrace Level from a STH (much cheaper) but since I moved out of Chi Town, I made a visit in May 09 and the Bullpen Box seats were absolutely incredible. I give Old Style a thumbs up as well.

As a Cubs fan it is the mecca of baseball. Overpaying for an Old Style and Chicago Style Hot Dogs are just part of the experience for me.
The food isn't great, but what ballpark food is?
The access isn't very easy. Best to take the train if possible or if driving there is a remote lot with shuttles ( Devry University is supposed to be easy ).
Opposing fans should avoid the bleachers. Fans usually aren't too bad in other areas unless it's the White Sox or to a lesser extent the Cardinals.
A must see for any baseball fan. I haven't been there since the Ricketts started the improvements but I have heard great things.

Guthries Tavern
I have to agree 100% that this park gets 5 stars when it comes to the neighborhood! I lived on Addison just two blocks from Wrigley for almost 5 years and those years still hold some of my best memories. One bar that should be a "must" on your list of things to do is Guthries Tavern. They have a great beer selection and over 50 board games. What's better than a beer and a quick game of connect four! Their slogan is "where neighbors become friends" and I couldn't agree more!

Favorite place on earth
Wrigley Field encompasses the essential elements to watching a baseball game: green grass, a buzzing atmosphere, an iconic scoreboard, and plenty of beer. It is, quite possibly, my favorite place on earth.
Given Wrigley's location, you can litteraly spend an entire afternoon in Wrigleyville bars waiting for the gates to open. It's the experience of a lifetime. As a sports fan, there are three stadiums that you MUST see before you die: Wrigley, Fenway, Yankee Stadium and Lambeau. You have to be there.
by NickKappel | Mar 01, 2011 01:17 PM
My take
Holy crap! At those prices, a visit to Wrigley will be a "once in a life tie experience."
I always have gotten there plenty early and then parked on one of the residential streets. However, you have to pay attention to where you park so you can find your car after the game.
Good write up, I agree with about everything you said. Also you made some interesting picks for the post game experiences.

A lifetime ago ...
I absolutely love the band! I had a seat right in front of the walkway and they played 5 feet in front of me. I am (un)lucky enough to say I was at the game where Ozzie Osborne sang take me out to the ballgame. It was at the height of the Osbornes TV show, and he blurred the words after the first line. He was all that the local sports talk shows were talking about for the next couple of days!

The Billy Goat
Whether it be for the Blackhawks, White Sox, Bears, but especially for a Cubs game, be sure to take the Red Line back down into the Loop and seek out the Billy Goat Tavern (the original on 430 N. Michigan Ave. Lower Level). Soak in the 'Cheezborger, Cheezborger, Cheezborger' tradition and retell the legend of the Billy Goat to someone nearby. Certainly not upscale, but a Chicago legend for sure.

Right On
Speaking as someone who has seen a lot of games at Wrigley, I think you're right on with your assessment. This is a ballpark to be savored. The food has gotten a lot better, which has really elevated the entire experience. As long as you are using the train system or are willing to walk a bit, it is hard to call a day at Wrigley Field anything else but perfect...
by paul | Aug 27, 2012 03:55 PM
Wrigley is a one of kind ball park! I sat in the bleachers, which in my mind is the only place you should sit. If you are looking for an almost party atmosphere, that's the section to sit in! It can get pretty rowdy, especially at night games! The food was normal ball park food. But they do have a small margarita stand behind the bleachers on the second level! Delicious on a hot afternoon. While the entertainment value is quite up to par with other stadiums, Wrigley is a one of kind experience. Make sure you hit up the bars in Wrigleyville before and especially after the game. Sluggers is a great place to go!

David Berger where do you live ? The majority of Cubs fans live on the northwest side of the city and the Red Line doesn't run there or anywhere near it. There is also no parking. A 3 for access ? Maybe if you are a tourist coming from a downtown hotel. Even Cubs fans, the die hards, would smile at a 5 for the fans. They show up but involved ? no way. One of our favorite things is to ask people as they exit and hit the bars what the score was, the answers are always hilarious and way off. The neighborhood is a 5 for sure if you are an adult hanging with other adults, what score would you give it if you had to spend time there with kids or if you don't drink alcohol ? Its simply bar after bar serving canned beer and burgers or chicken sandwiches. 5 ?

re: Teabags
Thanks for commenting... No, I don't live in Chicago, and as the site is about stadium travel, I felt that the tourist perspective is appropriate. Chicago's transit system covers a nuimber of areas, and I don't really see a line transfer as an incredible hardship for locals. For this trip, I took the Blue to the Red, and thought it was just fine.
No, there's no parking, but that's why it's not a 5... You have buses, trains and cabs all over the city that get you there, but parking's awful. It's pretty awful in the Bronx too. this is what you get with a ballpark in the city.
We were in the bleachers for Cubs Reds, and we sat with a bunch of groups that were both having a good time and paying attention to the game on a weekday afternoon. I'm sure there are the "experience fans" as well, but that's not what we encountered.
The neighborhood is a 5 on spectacle alone, even if you don't patronize the bars. I had 2 kids with me, and it wins just on uniqueness and people watching, not to mention the ballhawks.

Restaurants in Wrigleyville
There are plenty of restaurants, or even bars that feel more like restaurants than what Teabags is talking about, in Wrigleyville. Goose Island is a bar that also has great food, and root beer for folks who don't want their great beers. Penny's Noodles has great Thai food and Matsuya has good sushi. The larger point is that within 2 blocks of Wrigley you'll find a lot more than just the "bar after bar serving canned beers and burgers..."

Stadium tour
Hey, did anyone mention the guided tour of Wrigley? Cubs were out of town, so parked right by the main gate, enjoyed the tour immensely: security office, both locker rooms, Cubs dugout, Cubs dugout urinal.... You got the idea!
by doggierover | Oct 23, 2013 03:55 PM
Not too bad... Though be patient when traveling to and from Wrigley
For the most part, I would say that I enjoyed my trip to Wrigley three years ago. The big thing to keep in mind is that if you take the Red Line L from Addison station, be prepared to wait. The Addison L station gets extremely crowded after a Cubs game and it's not unusual to wait about 15-20 minutes just to get to the fare turnstiles. As an alternative, you can take the #152 Addison cross-town bus (there are usually several of those buses staging along Addison after the game) to Lincoln and take the Brown Line or to Addison/Central Park to catch the Blue Line/O'Hare branch.
The #22 Clark is another option, though those buses tend to get stuck in game-day traffic. A lesser known option is the #8 Halstead bus, which parallels the Red Line L but does not serve the Loop (Halstead passes just a few blocks west of the Loop).

Hard to see the game if you have the roof top seats...
I visited Wrigley in the summer of 2013 for a three game series between the Cubs and my Phils. My brother, my grandfather, my dad, and I had got tickets on the roof-top seats on the buildings located behind the outfield of the stadium. It was very hard to view the game from the rooftop, you can't see who's batting or who's in the field. While the food inside was really good (I had two Italian Beef Sandwiches) the view just wasn't great. If there is anyone going to Wrigley I recommend getting the real Chicago Cubs experience and sitting inside Wrigley and not the roof-top seats

You must be a Stadium Journey member to post a comment.
Wrigley Field is one of those places that every fan has to have on their "must visit" list. The Friendly Confines is the second oldest ballpark in professional baseball, built in 1914. There have been many changes in recent years, and the argument can be made that other than the quality of the product on the field, this may be the best time in the history of Wrigley Field to go and see a Cubs game.
Since 1914, Wrigley Field has been helping to create memories for agonizing Cubs fans. When the ivy covers the walls, there may be no more perfect atmosphere to watch baseball than the Friendly Confines.
What began as land owned by the Chicago Lutheran Theological Seminary, it has now become a sprawling neighborhood teeming with baseball energy. Wrigleyville, as the area has come to be known, is loaded with a myriad of bars and restaurants, as well as other entertainment options.
Wrigley field is just great. The location can't be beat, easy access from public transportation and located in a neighborhood with a lot of other food and entertainment options pre and post game. Does lack some of the more modern amenities in the park, but atmosphere and fans make up for that I think.
I am a loyal fan and have been a season ticket holder for 7 years. Even before my season tickets, I would go to twenty or so games a summer without batting an eyelash. Does that mean you should take my words as gospel? Yes.:)
OK, let's start with food. If you are looking for gourmet options like San Fran or the new Yankee Stadium, you'll be sadly disappointed. However, there are some tasty morsels, and here's where to find them. Downstairs, there are two booths near the edge of the park, in the main concourse. There, they sell Vienna Beef hotdogs, on my favorite, the poppy seed bun. You can also get grilled onions, which makes every dog that much tastier. If you get the dogs from the guys who come around, you will be lucky to get one that the bun and dog haven't somehow merged into one entity. This season, they have added bison dogs as an option everywhere, and those are pretty good, so if you get hungry in your seats, I would do those. Speaking of buffalo, here is a must eat. Downstairs, there is a booth that sells the buffalo dog, if you don't try this, well, I will never friend you on Facebook. It is a footlong beef or bison dog, topped with buffalo sauce and blue cheese cole slaw. The bun is a cheap one that will fall apart, but it tastes so good I just don't care. Other food things to try are the Connie's Pizza, though get the slices as opposed to the personal pizzas. The personal pizzas are mainly crust without any cheese or toppings, weheras the slices are thick and make you realize what Chicago pizza is.
Atmosphere...with the possible exception of the couple games I went to at the old Yankee Stadium, no fans know what is going on in the game more then Cubs fans. Standing ovations for sacrifice bunts, cheering for the pitcher with a full count, it is great, and exponentially cooler when the Cubs are halfway decent. They also boo, which I enjoy.
Neighborhoodwise, you can't beat the bar scene. Two places I like that are not necessarily the big spots are the Uncommon Ground about a block and a half north of the park, across Clark Street. Very good coffee and eccentric beers, plus great folk and acoustic music almost every night. The other is Lucky's, a sandwich joint about three blocks south of the park across Clark. heir sandwiches are out of this world, and come topped with fries. I recommend their corned beef. Plus, their beers are cheaper then most Wrigleyville establishments.
Access. The elevated train stops off right outside the park, though the lines after a Cubs win are enormous. I usually drive in early to beat the traffic and half a few cold ones somewhere. Parking is exorbitant, and will most of the time cost more then your ticket. However, if you don't mind walking a mile or so, you can park for free, though I am not going to tell you where...I want my spot to stay my spot, dig?
My season tickets are in the upper deck, and a better, cheaper great view of an MLB game would be tough to find.
I like baseball, in particular NL central baseball. I think Wrigley is one of the most unique stadium experiences in professional sports, but I've had it with the average fan that goes to games there. So many obnoxious drunks -- I wish they had a "old man section" where I could sit and keep score and appreciate the game without some 24yr old d-bag blabbing on his cell phone or some gross drunk couple sucking face directly in my line of sight. Having its own El stop a block away does make up for not having any parking, though.
If Wrigley is a 4 on Access, every other stadium is minimally a 7. I would go so far as to say its the worst ACCESS in all of sports. Out of towners will find the most challenging parking in baseball with rather hefty rates. The restrooms are small and run down. It is a pain in the a$$ to let people in and out of your aisle, there are poles in the way, and getting out of the stadium post-game is a nightmare.
The food is simply average.
First time participants will rate the ROI as a 5, but I'm a diva who likes smart phones, HOV lanes, and stem cell research, so I find return appearances a bit overpriced, especially considering the product on the field of late
Everything else gets perfect scores. Fans, Atmosphere, and Extras all Fives. The Neighborhood would get a 10 if applicable, so I guess I have to stick with the Five here as well.
Bottom line - see it once and watch the rest of the games from Goose Island.
I'll start by saying I've only visited Wrigley once in my lifetime and that being a couple of years ago with none other than Paul Swaney. I will say the place is great, reeks of great traidition just like Fenway. But at the price of seats and food & beverages not somewhere I would visit 10 to 15 times a year like I do Minute Maid. I would recommend taking the train dont try driving into Wrigleyville. Other than that it is a definite must see for all baseball fans!
Going here is a must for any baseball fan. This place is pure history and you definitely feel it when entering the stadium. The all beef hot dog is a must, I highly recommend getting the grilled onions on top. Beers are a bit expensive, but then again, what park isn't these days. Very loyal and outspoken fans, not the brightest in the world but they're fun. The neighborhood is worth a visit as well, bars as far as you can see. If you've never been, start planning your trip!
When you go to Wrigley the only other ballpark you can compare it to is Fenway being they were built within a couple years of each other. Unfortunately Wrigley is NOT Fenway and that's a bad thing. Fenway's been through 10 years of renovations that's made a 100 year old building as nice as any stadium that's been built in recent years. Wrigley hasn't started renovations yet so it's very distant to what Fenway is today. Yes, "upgrades" to Wrigley have been done in recent years but it's barely noticable. Don't get me wrong, Wrigley's no dump, just a Model T that's been sitting in a barn behind the house that is in desperate need of a restoration!
The fact that there's no replay screens or lcd boards (prior to 2012) didn't bother me at all. You have this amazing hand operated scoreboard in centerfield that has all of the info a true baseball would need. The ivy on the outfield walls is amazing. The look itself is almost indiscribable. Almost no advertising on the playing field brings you back to a time when players had jobs during the offseason and baseball was truly our national pastime.
Wrigleyville is a great neighborhood with lots of restaurants and bars around the stadium. It's great that it's not just a ballpark sitting in a sea of blacktop. Rooftop bleacher are an awesome vantage point to see the game across from Wrigley too, like none other in MLB.
On May 6th, my mom, dad and Me went to the see the Cubs take on the Dodgers. When we got off the EL or elevated, we headed right in. The smell of hotdogs and sauerkraut filled the concourse, it was great. The view from our section(226) was great, fans were super polite and not rowdy, the organist Gary Pressy pumped us up along with PA Announcer Andrew Belleson. I would like to go there at night some time, but anyhow, I had an awesome time.
Ive been to about a dozen different MLB parks and this is by far my favorite. Now I am a Cubs fan so that makes me pretty biased but growing up going to games there makes every other ballpark seem mediocre.
Everyone should take the elevated train at least once to the game. It drops you off right behind the right field wall and across the street. It is a cheap and convenient way to the game. Some of the best seats for the money are upper deck in left field close to third base which provides a nice view of the city to the east and a good prerspective right above the field. Remember, the older stadiums had different building requirements and the pitch in the rows is a little steeper than modern venues. YOu feel like you are right on top fo the field. Make your way to the main sign outside the stadium behind home plate. It is a shame there is so much commecializing OUTSIDE the stadium fans can see from their seats inside the stadium. Just another way for someone to make money and that's good for the economy (since Chicago resident Barack Hussein Obama can't do much to stimulate the economy).
Like any good fan, I made the trip to this baseball Mecca when I was visiting Chicago for a conference. Maybe it's the hype that goes along with the Wrigley experience, but I wasn't blown away.
Since I was staying downtown, I took the L to the park. Like most Cubs games, it was a day game. Since I wanted to see as much of the ballpark as I could, I left early. The train got very crowded as we got closer to the park, but not uncomfortably so. It leaves you off just a block away which is nice. As soon as I got there and looked around the neighborhood, I could see that it would be a nightmare for anyone driving there, but the trade off is a delightful area to hang out before the game. However, when your access is mostly limited to public transportation, I imagine getting could be a nightmare if you wait until the very end to leave the game.
I was not impressed with the concourse that runs around the stadium. It was old looking, crowded and the vendors weren't selling anything remarkable. The one restroom I used was small and nasty. It wasn't as bad as Fenway used to be before it was renovated though.
Maybe I wasn't looking in the right place, but I didn't see anything remarkable as far as food or beer. Most of the concessions were selling Old Style beer, which coming from NJ I never heard of. I tried one. That says it all. I went to one of the beer carts on one of the outer ledges to get something better for my second. Not that the selection was much better there, mostly Bud products.
Watching the game itself was great. My seat was actually at the top row on the third base line. The view was fine, and the field looked great. They were playing the Cardinals that day, so the fans were extra involved. The fans around me were very friendly and I enjoyed talking to them. And since I was up top, I could turn around and get a good view of Wrigleyville too.
I left early because my schedule required me to back in time for dinner and I was afraid of the after game rush to get back on the train. Otherwise I would've looked for a neighborhood haunt to hang out in.
I bought my ticket through StubHub, so it wasn't cheap. Therefore I can't gauge ROI on face value. But for what I paid, I just didn't think it was worth it.
This is the best place to watch baseball. Even though they haven't won a world series in over 100 years they are still one of the more storied franchises in the league. The field is the oldest field in the MLB and it is still in good condition. The fans are passionate and they want a world series ring. If you need to pick a baseball game to go to this season go up (or down) to Chicago to see a Cubs game.
It is a very unique experience ridding the train to north Chicago and getting out near Wrigley. There is no other experience like it that I've ever experienced. Not a bad seat in the house, and for how old the park is, it is a really nice game.
This stadium is a very fun stadium to be at it is cool it is much smaller then i thought it would be. It was an amazing experience and great food to.The fans are of course awesome.Now I went in the beginning of April on a freezing windy day but I was not disappointed
The neighborhood around the stadium is fun with a lot of bars and souvenir shops. Going to a game at Wrigley is like going back in time to watching a game in 1945. I've sat in the stands three times and the bleachers once. Growing up in West Michigan I watched more Cubs games than Tigers games so seeing the ivy in person is always breathtaking even though I'm not really a fan of the team. It's a pilgrimage every true baseball fan should make.
With that having been said, it's still in dire need of renovation. The concourses are small and overcrowded, the bathrooms are disgusting, and the obstructed views are more of an annoyance than a quirk. The concessions are the worst I've seen in the Major Leagues.
I would like to begin with saying I refer to myself as the greatest anti-Cubs fan, so I am biased, but I feel that the Wrigley experience is vastly overrated.
Let me begin with what I like about Wrigley;
- The field itself and the ivy covered wall is beautiful and the way every ballpark should look.
-The nieghborhood is very fun and even if you don't have tickets to the game it's fun going to one of the many bars to watch a game there.
Now my complaints:
-The exterior is just plain ugly. I can't possibly be the only one that feels that way. The chain link fencing around the ramps makes the place look like something straight from Good Times.
-The interior is falling apart, there are whole sections where you can see the rebar thru the cracked concrete.
- The fans? The Cub's typically draws 2.8+ million per year. There is no doubt in my mind that more than half of this comes from out of towners following their home teams or tourist wanting to scratch the Wrigley experience off their bucket list. The other half go to game to experience a very expensive buzz and barely have no recognitive knowledge that there is a ballgame going on.
-The bathrooms - So dirty it is hard to describe.
-The team - The Cubs suck and have sucked for many decades by design! Makes me wonder why anyone supports this poor excuse of a MLB franchise.
Food is above average albeit expensive. The Chicago Dogs are top notch. The atmosphere adaptable to what you are looking for in a baseball game. If you are looking for a youthful atmosphere sit in the bleachers and if you want to keep score sit somewhere else. Neighborhood is amazing, lots of bars, and it's a strong testament that fans stay in Wrigleyville hours after the game is over. Cubs fans are diverse, but all passionate which you have to be when your team hasn't been to a World Series since America put the Japanese in Internment camps. Parking is difficult to find, there are a few lots and they are constructing more and many Wrigleyvillians such as myself will allow you to park in their garage for a Jackson. Strongly suggest taking the Red Line or the #22 bus to the game as they are efficient and they run right to Wrigley's doorstep. You are never going to be shortchanged by the experience at Wrigley even if the performance on the field doesn't match up. No other stadium has Ivy growing on the walls, a hand-operated scoreboard, a marquee from the 1930s and fans watching from rooftops across the street, so extras can only be a 5.
I remember being about 6 years old and turning a baseball game on TV. I noticed the brick walls and the ivy. 20 years later, I was there, just as people were 60 years prior. Watching baseball in such a timeless environment is pure bliss.
If you're on this site, you probably know quite a bit about stadiums to begin with. Wrigley is an icon, and there isn't much I can add based on my sole visit there. The only thing I can contribute to the discussion is this: Fenway's better. That's not at all a slight against Wrigley, which I loved. It's just not quite the same.
There is no parking. There is no train (unless coming from northshore or downtown). There is nothing for families to do other than watch the game. I love going to Wrigley with my friends for a day out but I have to be honest when reviewing it. If you are going out with friends for beers and a game its very good but getting there is a headache and there is nothing to do if you are going with the family. The surrounding establishments are not for kids at all. You need to park far away and walk a long long way or pay $50+ to park. The food is not good in the park and everything is well above MLB average. The team is usually awful and the majority of the fans are not paying any attention. Avoid the bleachers if you are with young ones. There are a lot of bad seats in the park where you are in the shade (and cold) on a nice summers day and your view is blocked by poles and overhangs. It has to be given a combined 2 on extras and access since it has no extras and outside of walking or a bus in heavy heavy traffic its impossible to get to.
I am not a Cubbies' fan and never will be, but everyone should attend a game here. It is almost like telling an American baseball fan to watch a game in Tottenham or Manchester of the EPL. The classic ballpark still shows it is top of the class 100-years after its construction and provides an ambiance that can not be duplicated with any 21st Century ballpark design or idea. Best way to to arrive at the game is by the L, since parking is a hassle and traffic is dense (hey, the park was built in 1914, these things happen). However, if you ever wanted to park for almost nothing, attend a Cubs game on Easter Sunday and you will find plenty of free meter parking. It happens once in a blue moon, but I have done it twice in the past 12-years. As for the ballpark, iconic scoreboard, rooftop bleachers, ivy laced brick wall, and narrow aisles all remind us of why baseball is the national pastime. It is a lot fun, no matter who you are rooting for.
Visiting Wrigley for the first time ever this year was great. I loved pretty much everything about it. If you're like me and going for the first time, be sure to get your First-Timer Certificate on the concourse on the first base side.
The upper level has a balcony that looks out towards Downtown. If you sit in the terrace level, be sure to bring an extra jacket as those seats never see the sun.
Overall my experience at a Cubs game was just fantastic though.
my first ever Baseball game and i loved it ...loved the ground, loved the fans, loved the food and amazingly loved the baseball
two game and two grandslams ...i think thats what they are called ..spent one game in the stands and one in the bleachers the atmosphere was great considering it was the last weeks of the season.
amazing neighbourhood and really easy to get too
food was stunning as well ....so was the Old Style ...not the light kind though
If you were to poll fans about what is the one thing that stands out about Wrigley Field, you would have at least 5-6 different answers (Ivy, the famed outside sign, history, the scoreboard, bleachers, 7th inning stretch), which makes it an iconic ballpark.
Wrigley Field is a good ballpark, even today, but it isn't GREAT by any means. But it might be because I ended up going to a Cubs game against the Mets, where both teams have been rebuilding. But there are things that made my visit still pretty memorable in a good way and I think for any ballpark chaser, you have to do this park at least once and also take a Wrigley Field tour.
FOOD: Very basic as nothing stands out. I had an Italian Sausage, which tasted fine. Of course, you can't go to the park without downing a beer, and you do have a nice variety there.
ATMOSPHERE: You get baseball and that's what you get....but also around the park you felt like you were at a college football venue on a Saturday with restaurants all over the place jumping.
NEIGHBORHOOD: Restaurants galore. Must be nice to have an establishment by Wrigley. The area seems nice and clean as well, though I heard from locals don't wander off too far.
FANS: Probably because the Cubs were rebuilding, but it seems like they were very subdued and kept it to themselves. It didn't seem like they were into the game either. That said, 28,000 still packed it in for a game between two teams not figuring to contend for a championship.
ACCESS: If you use public transit and know your way around Chicago, this is easy. But if you're out of town, it can be problematic. Or you can take the next thing and drive near the park and find a spot somewhere off by the field for a nice cost.
ROI: I would try some of these ticket sites that sells tickets for less than face value as what the Cubs offer on their site is extremely high right now. Food prices were overall high (most hit $7 or higher) and souvenir prices were insanely high. I know it is a classic park, but doesn't mean you can make it so expensive.
EXTRAS: As I mentioned before, the ballpark has some classic, iconic features that you cannot get at the newer parks, or really any park in baseball. Wrigley Field is one of a kind. Taking the Wrigley Tour is also worth it if you dime up $25. But it is definitely an experience you want to do, even if the place hits your wallet.

Made a long awaited pilgrimage with family in tow to the Friendly Confines for Cubs/Cards on July 26 and was not at all disappointed.
Food: Was slightly disappointed with the offerings and quality. Dogs were average at best. The quality seemed more in line with a movie theater than professional sports. And of course the cost was exorbitant but you know that going in.
Atmosphere: Off the charts. Historic ball park celebrating its 100th year on a Saturday afternoon with great weather and their biggest rival in town. Of course there seemed to be as many Cardinal fans as Cubs fans but still - everything I hoped it would be and more.
Neighborhood: Again, all you'd hope for, especially down Clark Street. If you stray too far behind Waveland or the opposite way from Addison it gets a little sketchy. But in and around Wrigleyville it doesn't get much better.
Fans: Again, almost split 50/50 between Cubs/Cards fans but that just added to the environment as the Cubs fans whose teams is perpetually out of the race in late July were into it because it WAS the Cardinals.
Access: If you take the Red Line from anywhere in the city you're fine. We took it from downtown and it dumps you out one block north on Addison. As soon as you step off the train you see the stadium and are immediately in the action. Although it was crowded after it took less than an hour after the game to get back downtown (we stayed for the entire game as did most of the fans). TIP: Buy two passes on the inbound trip so you don't have to wait in the ticket line after the game.
ROI: Very expensive but you know that going in. You're paying for the experience so just know it's going to cost.
Extras: Too many to name. Bleachers. Wrigleyville. Rooftops. Historic stadium.
I went to the Friendly Confines to see the Cubbies take on the Brewers. The attendance was great, the fans were not as obnoxious as I thought they would be, except for the Brewers fans there (you know who you are). The food was pretty good, and there was a lot of helpful employees. The ivy was a unforgettable experience to finally see along with the hand operated scoreboard. The downside was the price for parking, $40! Other than that the experience was great.

Vikings 2.09 Review: "The Choice"
26 April 2014 11:11 AM, PDT
Typically, the hour before a season finale is spent building the foundation for whatever the last hurrah of the year will be for a television series.

There was still plenty of relationship drama mixed in with most [&hellip

Big Screen Berkeley: "Gothic" — a scandalous good time
The late enfant terrible of British film-making, Ken Russell, is perhaps best remembered for bringing nude male wrestling to the movie-going masses (Women in Love) and for producing a film so profane it was virtually impossible to see unexpurgated for 40 years (The Devils). Never a man for half measures, Russell's last feature film was the inelegantly titled Whore (1991), after which he rode off into the sunset via a legendary (and abbreviated) appearance on Celebrity Big Brother in 2007.
His November, 2011 passing is acknowledged by Pacific Film Archive this Thursday, June 14th at 7:30 pm with a rare screening of one of Russell's late period indulgences, 1986's tribute to drug-fueled creativity Gothic. The film will be preceded by a performance by Brale, a musical group described as "the world's only Ken Russell tribute band".
Filmed at Hertfordshire's magnificent Gaddesden Place, Gothic relates the mythic meeting of minds that helped spawn Mary Shelley's 1818 novel 'Frankenstein: or, the Modern Prometheus'. … Continue reading »
