I bought tickets to Mumford & Sons. I found out after-the-fact they were non-refundable. I tried to engage with the Cubs organization because they delayed the concert time until 10:00 PM (from 6:30 PM) because of storms in the "area". The "organization" waited until the last minute to delay the concert, cancelled the opening acts, paid fines to the City of Chicago ALL to AVOID refunding ticketholders. The Cubs can call it what they will, but it was ultimately THEFT BY DECEPTION! The concert did NOT go on as timed, the opening acts were cancelled, and the Cubs paid a fine to the City of Chicago because it was cheaper than offering refunds. I WILL NEVER set foot in Wrigley, I WILL NEVER AGAIN support the Cubs. The Cubs are nothing more than a money grubbing organization owned by Trump-like billionaires - profit over people. Concerns for concert-goer safety? That's just BS since they have cancelled games for less. This is the last I'll say about the money-grubbing Cubs organization. The Mumford & Sons concert and the Cubs' theft by deception will live with them as I can and am doing concerts elsewhere in the future - just not with them... read more

After watching the cubs so far this season and I know it's early but this team has taken on the personality of their GM and .manager. That personality is a big zero. This team strikes out way too much and leaves way too many runners in scoring position. Watching Hoyer and Counsell talk is like watching paint dry. Waste of time. Hoyer, spent way too much on an overrated Dansby Swanson, extended strikeout king Ian Happ when no other team wanted him, and let Kyle Swarber get away. Terrible mismanagement and horrible ownership all these here in Chicago. read more

It is deeply saddening to write this review. I went to a game this season and recognized very little of the experience compared to, say, 10 years ago. The area around the stadium used to resemble the rest of the neighborhood. Now it's a modern strip mall aesthetic, like a soulless carnival of capitalism. The concessions were absolutely overrun on the night I went, even though the stadium was half full. The station closest to my seat ran out of food around the 4th inning. The next one down allowed order-ahead on the mobile app, yet the order ahead line was longer than the huge regular line. And the ice cream machine was broken, so folks who pre-ordered ice cream were waiting in line to be told there was no ice cream and to be sent to the other side of the stadium. Plus the bonus that I was wearing a mask as I walked through the crowd to get to my seat and I was loudly, aggressively heckled by a fan and the ushers did nothing. I used to love games at Wrigley but I can't really imagine going back. It was frustrating, expensive, and not especially fun. read more

Chicago Cubs - Ok view from the Left Field Upper Box area - rest of the experience unpleasant - Professional Sports Teams Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

We got the chance to see the Cubs at Wrigley Field this past weekend, well I suppose the AAA version of the Cubs as they'd recently traded their main crew and brought up the young ones at the end of their season. It was still fun to see and we cheered like mad. My father brought me to Cubs games as a kid, in the 70's and 80's, and I was a massive Cubs supporter through my early teens with Jody Davis & Ron Cey posters on my wall, then I lost interest. But it was good to be back at Wrigley and I look forward to keeping up more with baseball next season. Go Cubs Go! read more

In terms of total wins, history, and popularity, I think the Chicago Cubs are one of Major League Baseball's more successful and prominent teams. Sure, the Cubs have only won three World Series (1907, 1908, 2016), have one of the worst World Series winning percentages (3-8, .273), and suffered through the Curse of the Billy Goat (1945-2016), but they also currently own MLB's sixth-best regular season win percentage and rank third in regular season wins, all time. Before the Cubs' historic World Series win in 2016, the team had gone 108 consecutive years without a World Series title. To this day, it remains the longest World Series championship drought in MLB history. 2016's World Series Game 7 might have been the best baseball game ever. Thanks to the MLB, you can watch the entire game on YouTube. Here's the best part: https://youtu.be/9CaDeppJDnU?t=17701. The Cubs beat the Indians, 8-7, in 10 innings. The game, held at Progressive Field in Cleveland, went into a rain delay after the 9th inning with the game tied, 6-6. How the game got to 6-6 was wild, highlighted by the Cubs' David Ross hitting a homer at the top of the 6th and the Indians' Rajai Davis hitting a two-run homer in the 8th. At age 39, Ross became the oldest player to hit a home run in a World Series Game 7. Davis was the last player to hit a game-tying home run in a World Series Game 7. The Cubs were down 3-1 in the series and had to win three straight games (Games 5, 6, and 7), with two on the road, in order to win the championship. Cubs second baseman and outfielder Ben Zobrist was named World Series MVP. One of his most important plays was an RBI double to put the Cubs up 7-6 in the 10th. In 2016, he led the MLB in walks-per-strikeout at 1.17. Zobrist had just won the World Series the previous year as a member of the Kansas City Royals. According to Forbes, the Cubs are the fourth most valuable team in baseball after the New York Yankees, Los Angeles Dodgers, and Boston Red Sox, in order. The Cubs are one of the pillars of MLB.

Love the people, game, atmosphere, but just like the Dodgers the prices are insane on food and drinks. This is why I gave it a 4 star. 80 bucks for far far away seating?!? But besides the costs this is one of America's "MOST EPIC" ball fields! The architecture is insane! A marvel. One of the coolest fields by far! A must see. It's epic, and something you want to mark off your list. Trust me. read more

Like Marty McFly said, I wish I could go back to the beginning of the season, put some money on the Cubs. Actually it was an old guy in 2015, but same thing. Of course, they missed it by a year or two but it was damn close. Congratulations to them for finally ending their drought and winning the whole thing but I have to say that I think there was a little bit of Foul Play involved because I think Cleveland deserved to win it and I'm not really sure how things got turned around but I'm a little bit suspicious about the whole thing to be honest. read more

Me and family attended the Cubs vs. Diamondbacks on Sunday July 21. There was a issue with one of our seats and my husband asked one of the ushers if the seat beside of him was taken so he could just move over a seat. The usher reached out to someone in charge of public relations. A lady named Erika came and spoke with us and said she would find out about the seat next to us and went on to tell us about some must see items at the field. She returned with certificates for our entire family for our first time at the park. Erika went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and to be sure we had the best experience possible. Wonderful people at the Wrigley field. A great day! I highly recommend attending a cubs game! read more

On this 3rd anniversary (already!) of the Cubs 2016 World Series championship parade, I noticed this Yelp page had surprisingly only one photo from that grand day.  So, I've added a few.  I have to say as a native Chicagoan, that day was the happiest community day I ever experienced in Chicago or anywhere for that matter. I never saw so many upbeat, proud, happy, and giddy people in and around the city at one time.  I believe that 2016 team captured the hearts of Chicagoans like no other team before - not the 1969 Cubs (for which any celebrations were of course premature), not even the 1985 Bears (a close second I would say), and of course not the 2005 White Sox.  Let's face it, Chicago is just not a Sox town, and I only remember a normal happy celebration for that good team, and a frigid parade day (and I'm not a Sox hater btw).  I'm not a hockey fan so can't say too much about the Blackhawks, and I wasn't around for the Bulls' glory years.  The Cubs' celebration day was a special day with the parade occurring on a delightfully beautiful and sunny Friday and only about 36 hours after that wonderful last out, at about 12:10am local time as I recall.  A beautiful Friday celebration was also a good excuse for many to start the weekend early.  Like many others having school age children, my brother took his suburban grade school daughter out of school to see the parade.  His call to the school went like this: Brother:  My daughter is sick today and won't be attending class. Administrator:  Oh, ok, going to the parade, huh? Brother:  Oh, no, no, she's really sick. Administrator: Ok then, see you at the parade. His daughter later reported that maybe 10% of the students showed up for school, and what a sad sight that had to have been for those kids.  Oh well, situation can be forgiven every 108 years I suppose. I fortunately took the very efficient CTA (as opposed to the disastrous Metra for the return trip anyway) into downtown to see the parade.  It cracked me up that I saw so much brand new Cubs wear everywhere.  Thinking to myself, I proudly wore my 15 year old Cubs cap, whereas everyone else seemed to have on something with sparkling new Cubs blue that was bought just the night before.  Haha, what a deserved windfall for the Cubs and that was all fine and great. Well, if history is any guide, it will be about 20 years from 2016 when we will be serious contendas again.  So I don't think I will be needing to do a Yelp update on a championship parade anytime soon. read more

The worst fans ever!!!! First we come to people sitting in our seats, then when we ask them to move. The ppl next to us, asked if we could move down because they were "fat" and need more room.

*** Go, Cubs, go! "Hey, Chicago, what do you say / The Cubs are gonna win today..." And they did on Easter 2021! *** Overall, it was fun times watching the Chicago Cubs play at Wrigley Field on 4/4/21. My allegiance has been to the Los Angeles Dodgers for the past 9 years as I still reside in Greater L.A., but it felt good to get out to see some action even if COVID restrictions were a bit ridiculous. Here's my honest dislike about this organization... My brother complained several times during our trip to Chicago about how not even half of the Cubs stood for the National Anthem, but all of the Pittsburg Pirates got their butts out there. I concur wholeheartedly because it's a lot more than just showing your respect to the USA and displaying a sense of patriotism. My brain thinks way differently than the Whaeckernicks of the world, though. The announcer always states, "Please rise and remove your ball caps for the singing of our National Anthem." The same way they repeat key policies over and over again... If standing for the Star Spangled Banner is so offputting to some people, maybe those individuals should show up to the game AFTER the rest of us have stood for this sacred tradition or just not come at all. Ball players included. But then that would mean they'd miss out on the privilege of playing on the actual field, right? Just simply watching the Cubs on TV during the span of my life, I never realized they had a victory song. Of course, they do! It was cool listening to the native Chicagoans sing it as soon as the top of the 9th inning ended. Chicago Cubs beat Pittsburgh Pirates, 4-3. Attendance: 10,343... (Mayor Lightfoot set the cap at 25%) Time of Game: 3:09* *Info retrieved from https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CHN/CHN202104040.shtml read more

The Special Services team helped make this day truly wonderful. My wife has two artificial hips and it is hard for her to walk very far. Once we got inside and spoke to someone, she was immediately offered a wheelchair and transportation to the other side of the park where our seats were. I believe Ralph was one of our helpers. We saw a great game (Cubs won!) and Ralph was waiting to take us back to the entrance. It couldn't have been a better day. Thanks to all the folks with Special Services. read more

Major shout out to the Cubs Accessibility Services and specifically Greg Aiani. We are visiting from SF Bay Area and are overwhelmed with the great service and hospitality of the Cubs and certainly Mr. Aiani. My 94 year old mother has been treated like a Queen and wheeled about the stadium. She's also been looked after with periodic checks by the staff. And escorted to our bus stop at the games end! All of it has been quite unexpected and we are so grateful as a family. No offense to our home team and their servíces but I really can't imagine any other organization that can touch the Chicago Cubs and their first class service. We are so grateful to Greg Aiani, who has to be a godsend to the Cubs. It was just a beautiful experience for us as visitors. Thank you Chicago Cubs and Greg Aiani!! read more

Oh Cubbies, the Curse of the Billy Goat is over, so I guess you get 5 stars! You play in a beautiful park, that for most of it's years did not see the night time stars! Day games at Wrig, called by Harry will always be on my mind. Cubs Win, Cubs Win, Cubs Win.... some of the time! You are good enough for Ferris on his day off. And you can watch the game across the street from the top of a loft! This is where Babe Ruth called his shot! And the Natural's Roy Hobbs hit the scoreboard, the sparks were so hot!

Whether it be a Saturday summer afternoon or an early fall evening, this is the place I wanna be the most. There is nothing like a Chicago Cubs baseball game. There is a magic that is tangible in the air. Try it once, and you're hooked! I recommend the Budweiser Bleachers. That's a great place to connect with other fans and have some beers. It's general admission which is nice because you can just grab some seats as soon as you show up. So get there early for great seats, or get there late and you'll still be fine! If you're a true baseball fan, the lower infield seating is top notch. I couldn't believe how close I was to Rockies' Star Nolan Arenado last year for an early season matchup. Wow. So much fun. Give it a go. Great for families or dates or just groups of friends hanging out. read more

These new Cubs owners are more greedy than a Chicago Teacher's Union. Gouging the long-suffering fans every way they can. For every last cent. Exorbitant ticket prices. Outrageous prices for food. $34 for a baseball cap (saw at Walmart). And $12 for a plastic cup of that awful swill they call Budweiser?!? Not for me. Fans had suffered long enough. So once things start looking up and they actually win a World Series, prices skyrocket. They just find another way for the loyal fans to suffer. Not for me. Of course, once they skyrocket the prices, the team goes flat, flatter than two-day old beer, not even making the playoffs. Spend time watching them sink back into the doldrums? Not for me. Then, after all this, they think they are going to make a killing with their own Cubs TV channel on cable, pulling the plug on watching games on free over-the-air TV, like on long-time broadcaster WGN after 72 years. They think 24/7 Cubs baseball will sell. All at the same time people (like me) are cutting the cord on pay cable. Especially when it is bundled with all kinds of stuff you don't want. Would I ever subscribe? Don't be silly. Not for me. read more

The lovable losers no more, 108 years later the Cubs are finally champs again!!! Losing season after losing season, if you're a true born and raised Chicagoan and North Sider like I am, you can't help, but be completely ecstatic with finally winning! I feel so grateful to have now witnessed them win in my lifetime. I find myself thinking of those who passed never having seen them win, including my mom (who I saw one of my first Cubs games with in the 80s on a rooftop overlooking Wrigley). My dad was 3 years old the last time our Cubs were even in the World Series and they lost of course. He's now 74 and talking to him on the phone after the game and hearing him in tears of joy made all the losing worth it for such an unforgettable moment with my father and for an unforgettable World Series. Thank you Cubs, for finally putting that curse to rest and for giving one of the absolute best cities in the world great cause to celebrate! read more

God help me, do I ever hate the Cubs. #1 reason: Sammy Sosa--corked bat, steriods, the ridiculous contract that he got before he started hitting home runs, his lazy outfield defense, the hop, the arrogant sense of entitlement... Then there's: Ron Santo, the most worthless, piece-of-shit announcer in sports Every fan in the place standing and gasping for every single mid-outfield fly ball hit by a Cub Wretched crowd behavior, especially in the bleachers Awful stadium facilities, from restrooms to concessions to seats Shitty hot dogs and shittier beer Fans whining every year about Santo and Ryne Sandberg not getting into the Hall of Fame Turning a perfectly good neighborhood into a cesspool of repugnant humanity 82 afternoons and evenings per year Blaming Bartman when your pitcher and your shortstop had everything to do with that loss; oh, and there was a game 7, remember? Embracing the term "lovable losers," which places even more emphasis on the latter--for team and fans alike 100 years of futility speak for themselves In Iceland a few months ago, I met a young male bartender wearing a Cubs jersey. I asked him how he became a fan and he replied, "I'm not. I don't know anything about baseball, but Cubs suck, right?" (He was wearing the jersey with hipster irony.) I started to correct him--"Actually, this year..."--but then I just smiled, nodded my head, and said, "Yes, they do. Cubs suck." read more

The Cubs have broken my heart so many times. 1969 didn't seem that bad, there were many years ahead, right? But 1984 did me in, just did me in. I swore I would NEVER engage again. That lasted, more or less until 2003 when I was completely on board. When they lost, I was sick, just sick. I tried to avoid getting sucked in but 2007 and 2008 were fresh heart breaks. My husband was a complete believer in Theo and told me to hang in when the team just got worse and worse. He told me that 2016 would be the year. But he was wrong, this is the year. These season has been great and if we don't go any further I will be sad, but not mad. We beat the Cardinals in Wrigley. That is the best victory and most satisfaction ever. Here it is 2015, 46 years past when I thought another chance at the World Series was just around the corner. I guess after this long, I'm theirs for life, come what may. Go Cubs! read more

Been a Cubs fan since my dad took me to a game back in 1967, never a fair weather fan, I have followed the squad since then.

10 years ago, I would've went in crushing people's souls, but Mark Geezy is a lot more mature in his 30's, therefore the Cubs get 3 stars from me. This city having two MLB teams is lowkey a huge reason baseball has been my favorite sport since being old enough to conceive such thoughts. Getting all tribal about which side you're on and talking sh*t to your friends (in good fun of course) is just a part of the mental makeup of being a baseball fan in Chicago. So in that regard, I appreciate the Cubs. Also, like anything that drags on way too long, I just became weary of the "longest championship drought" narrative attached to their name. It was great always having that in your back pocket for those dreaded bar debates, but enough was enough. Win a damn thing already. And they finally did. Sox fan for life, but shoot your shot, Cubs. read more

I didn't grow up in Chicago. I only ever watched a single baseball game in my entire life until April 2008, and that was a minor league game in my hometown (and I didn't have a clue what was going on). But I totally love the Cubs. Because I'm not from here, I don't experience the pain that lifelong Cubs fans feel or the anger that some feel when they screw up (though I understood a bit after the sweep in the playoffs... what a horrible showing). Part of what makes me love the Cubs over the White Sox is the history, Wrigley, and that the fans still love them after all they've put their fans through. I'm sure I'm influenced by the fact that I live on the north side, too (even though I work across the Dan Ryan from The Cell), but - and maybe I feel this way because Wrigley hasn't become one of those amusement parks/ball parks - it seems that people come to Cubs games because they love the team and they love baseball, not simply for something to do or to play the video games while their friends enjoy what's happening on the field. After hating sports my whole life, it's surprising to me that I can't wait until April (and not just because the snow - bane of my existance - will be gone). Can't wait to see my Geo in action! read more

Go Cubs Go! Go Cubs Go! Hey Chicago what do you say... As far back as I can remember I've been a Cubs fan. Sure sometimes they break my heart, but like my dad I'll always love my Cubbies! My dad grew up a stone's throw from Comiskey in an all-Sox neighborhood, but has been a lifelong Cubs fan, which I'm sure he took a lot of lumps for, so it was only natural that I be a Cubs fan too. I was heartbroken when by dad's office gave up their season tickets (back before Wrigley had lights) - something about too many employees missing work all the time (silly I know).
