You walk up the concourse, wondering if anything's about to fall on you from the decaying concrete framing, and then emerge from a portal to the sight of green grass, the giant scoreboard and the ivy, unless you go in April or early May. (But don't go then, you'll freeze your a word off). <br /><br />The seats are cramped, the restrooms are fairly scary and there are drunken idiots everywhere. There's also no Jumbotron, no stupid sound effects and no "make some noise" exhortations from the scoreboard. Cubs fans get slated as only being there to party, but they know when to get loud because the situation calls for it, not because there's a video of a monkey (and I loved the rally monkey when I went to Angels games. Sue me.)Gregnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7333991649672303972.post-7955334941384194172009-06-19T10:35:41.611-07:002009-06-19T10:35:41.611-07:00Keep in mind I haven't been to a game since 20...Keep in mind I haven't been to a game since 2007 BUT when I went it seemed like every usher was over the age of 70. <br /><br />One late season jaunt in '06 saw me sneaking down to the first level (I had been watching the seat; no one was taking it). The Usher came over and asked if it was my seat, "no, the guy never showed". Gramps shrugged his shoulder and moseyed off. <br /><br />I feel like the woman's Philly stint would see someone telling her "Don't say the 'd' word?

Your wife would say they're roomy, I on the other hand need a chiropractor and a knee replacement after 5 innings....and yet the place is still fantastic.Mark Smo in CTnoreply@blogger.com
