This past weekend we went to Chicago with our friends Rob and Kristen to tour Wrigley Field. This is something that we've wanted to do for oh so long, but its difficult because tours don't happen often when the team is in town. There were still some parts of the field and stadium that Kyle wishes they would have let him see, but all in all it was very memorable. We have all the pictures in our August 2009 album to the right. Here are just a few.
From right field bleachers - there was a HS All American game going on.
In the press box
The famous Wrigley organ!
Inside the Cubs clubhouse. Wrigley is very old so the clubhouses are extremely small. Unfortunately plastic had been put up because the Iowa Cubs (AAA) were coming in town the next day to play a AAA game and they didn't want the minor league players messing with the big boys stuff. Nonetheless it was great just picturing the guys in my mind sitting around before a game and I remember the video footage of the champaign celebration last year in there when the clinched the division.
Ryno's Hall of Fame frame in the hallway on the way down to the dugout.
In the dugout. Much smaller than I ever imagined. Very easy to hit your head on the ceiling.
The greatest scoreboard in sports, a view from the field.

The brick backstop.
We had a great time and it was well worth the trip!
