That's pretty close. Keep in mind I used to pay $2 (TWO ####### DOLLARS) for outfield bleacher seats to watch the high powered Rangers in the 80s/90s (before they got a new ballpark in '94).3 heart attacks?

$400?Just purchased four tickets to the Cubs game July 6th. In the outfield bleachers. GA. Any guesses on the total including about 9 layers of taxes and fees?
Chicago is going to financially ruin me in ways 5 kids have not, isn't it?
$450. And nothing says family atmosphere like the bleachers at wrigley.Just purchased four tickets to the Cubs game July 6th. In the outfield bleachers. GA. Any guesses on the total including about 9 layers of taxes and fees?

Not quite that much. And now, we just want to take in a day game at Wrigley. I'm the only baseball fan; the other three are just going to appease me, but I think it'll be fun regardless. No need to tour.$400?
How bad will it be? My 15 and 14 year olds aren't phased by poor behavior, but we won't be accosted or anything, will we?$450. And nothing says family atmosphere like the bleachers at wrigley.
No, just drunks, so YOU will be in the land of your own.How bad will it be? My 15 and 14 year olds aren't phased by poor behavior, but we won't be accosted or anything, will we?
Well, I pay through the nose at Blazer games for beer, so that won't bother me. Plus, a day game, I'm hoping my 'thirst' for booze will somewhat tamped down. I dunno, this has been a lifelong dream of mine, so I'm hoping it's worth it. I don't really do too much in the way of travel or hobbies anymore, so I'm pretty geeked up over this.Get ready for your $10.50 Old Styles!!

I went about 10 years ago, it was a day game. I do remember some shady character trying to show us a shortcut down an alley, but then i saw some other people going that way and realized it was legitI caught a White Sox game a couple of years ago. My bulletproof vest cost about the same.
The stupid thing is you can pay $10.50 for an Old Style or Bud Light, or $11.50 for a Goose Island. So it is only an extra dollar to go from pee water to a decent beer.Well, I pay through the nose at Blazer games for beer, so that won't bother me.

The bleachers are fun to sit in. Depending on the opposing outfielder you can get some interaction. Cubs against Astros years back, Lance Berkman playing LF, crowd was teasing him about his weight, as he ran out to start an inning someone threw down a package of Twinkies. He opened it, ate one and put the other in his pocket, turned around and thanked the guy.
Playoff game against the Braves in 2003 guy next to my friend was passed out and slumped against my buddy by the end of the first inning.
I spent the better part of 8 years attending most every Cards-Cubs game with bleacher tickets, as a Cardinals fan, drunkenly jawing with drunk Cubs fans and only ever had one incident. And that was because my boss got too hammered and went a little too far with two gigantic Cardinals fans who were not amused. By anything. In their entire lives.How bad will it be?

And if they have GM's pigment, that will happen even if its only 60 out.I spent the better part of 8 years attending most every Cards-Cubs game with bleacher tickets, as a Cardinals fan, drunkenly jawing with drunk Cubs fans and only ever had one incident.

The bleachers at Wrigley are a bar with the largest cover charge you'll ever likely pay. There just happens to be a really big screen with the game on once you get there. Some people even notice/watch it. Tell the boys to enjoy the boobs and midriff. The biggest concern you should have is third degree burns baking in the sun.

White Sox games were more interesting when you could watch a fire at the Robert Taylor homes from the upper deck.I caught a White Sox game a couple of years ago. My bulletproof vest cost about the same.
good luck with that. i was thrown out of murphy's, before a day game. snuck back in and slipped the bartender a $50, so i could keep drinking with my buddies.Well, I pay through the nose at Blazer games for beer, so that won't bother me.

love the Gordmans. Great sport socks for $1/pair or less. Name brand golf shirts and shorts.popped up here a couple years back.
basically, if there's a business on the verge of bankruptcy, if it's model is aggregating random cheap goods and selling them at "discount" prices and/or it can dump the unsellable crap and far out of fashion items in this market.... we have that store & within 6 months of its grand opening here, a national story will run about the parent company going out of business and all its stores closing.
:confetti:
Before a day game is impressive. I was kicked out of El Jardin one night after a game. Happened to have a change of clothes in my friend's car because we were crashing at someone's apartment in the neighborhood. Went to the car, stripped down to my underwear in the middle of the street and changed. Walked right back into the bar and the bouncer that just kicked me out as I repaid my $5 cover charge.good luck with that. i was thrown out of murphy's, before a day game. snuck back in and slipped the bartender a $50, so i could keep drinking with my buddies.

Tend?My wife and sons tend to keep me between the lines, GB.
our trip was a drunken corn hole of 8 dudes that flew in from all over the country. the most sober i was the entire 4 days, was as i boarded my flight at 8am. one guy was tight with a big wig at Budweiser and we had seats, 8 rows behind the visiting dugout(dodgers) for all 3 games that weekend. tommy lasorda was right in front of us. one of my buddies looks a bit too much like OJ Simpson, and by the 4th inning, of the first game, chants of GUILTY, GUILTY, GUILTY, rained down on us constantly. it was so f'ing funny and my buddy, HATED it. which made it funnier.My wife and sons tend to keep me between the lines, GB.
Huh, who knew?Cardinals fans who were not amused. By anything. In their entire lives.

3 months ahead of time would set off some alarms for me. How many corners are being cut?In other news, apparently we are the anti- @RedmondLonghorn family. You know how we're building a house? I found out yesterday that it's now due to be finished three months AHEAD of schedule. For many people this would be a good thing, but for me it is a ####### nightmare. Not ready to move, sell the one we're in, etc.
In other other news, I had a tiny ding in my windshield that I took to Safelite for putting some #### on it so it wouldn't spread. Guy plopped some resin on and BAM! Now have an eight-inch crack in the windshield. Neat.
