Pros:* The most charming thing about Wrigley Field, for me, was not the ivy. In fact, it was not in the ballpark at all. It was the dozens of building rooftops being used as seating for the game. How clever, how unique and how genius. American ingenuity and drive for $ at its best.
* There were no doubt less ads at Wrigley Field than any other ballpark in the U.S. The Ivy wall features only two ads- both for Under Armor. There are a couple more ads, one for Scott's Turf Builder on the Cubs dugout. That's about it, though. Can't complain. Very charming.
* The seagulls, all over the field and the roof were a cool touch, reminding us all that we share this planet.
* Friendly die-hards willing to have a conversation about baseball. Electric atmosphere throughout the park. Gotta love sell-out crowd after sell-out crowd.
Cons:
* The scoreboard is too small! You have no way of knowing the score of half the games being played in baseball.
* There is no jumbo-screen, convenient for replays.
* I'd prefer if the stadium was facing out towards Downtown Chicago. The view is, instead of ugly lakeside apartment high rises.
