Wrigley Field........I hate that godforsaken place.  Let me enlighten you.....

a. They have somehow made it confusing to look at your section and mistake it for a different one.  Let's say you have a ticket for section 534, row 4, seat 106.  That's right.....106.  You see the sign for section 534.  It's on the right side of the aisle.  That must be where you're sitting.  That would be correct.  Now....let's say you're sitting in that same section, same row, but seat 4.....where the hell is that?  It's on the other side of the aisle!  They've somehow managed to make 1 row of seats into 2 "sections".  101-110 on one side of the aisle, 1-10 on the other.  Stupidest freaking thing I've ever seen.  All game (as Cubs fans don't really watch the game but instead meander around the place doing whatever doesn't entail actually sitting there watching the goddamned game) people are having to switch sections when someone new comes to the game.  The ushers are constantly moving WHOLE ROWS OF PEOPLE throughout the game.  The reasoning they give: "It's an old ballpark."  My response: "How old.....before people could count?!?!?"

2. Gotta pee?  Give yourself at least an inning and a half to do it if you're sitting anywhere besides the lower level.  No toilets anywhere besides the lower level.  Made it until the 7th inning or so until I had to pack my bags, check the wind pattern, and get cleared for take off.  Made the 5 minute trek down the 8 ramps or so to stand in line for another few minutes before I could piss in a trough.  The trough.....genius.  The placement.....retarded.

D. Obstructed view seating.....yep......they have those too.  Support beams, both on the lower and upper level, make viewing the whole field impossible.  Absolutely impossible.  There are times you almost smoke the guy in sitting next to you in the face with YOUR face because you're trying to watching the play.  Unbelievable.

x. I hate that freaking song!!!  Go Cubs Go.  They sing it after every win.  And they sing it for a long time.  And then they sing it all night.  Then the bars play it....and they sing it some more.  It's catchy, it's easy to remember, it's fun to sing it with everyone else.....and I hate it!  It makes me wish for something of our own to sing when the Redbirds win.  We used to have some songs in the 80s....long gone.  Now we just cheer and leave and talk shit to the opposing team's fans.  Not the Cubs.  They cheer, they leave, they talk shit....and they get to sing a song the whole time they're doing it.  God Damn It!!!!
