OUTING 2011 -- UPDATED WITH A WINNER

That sounds great, swenk, but I'm connected to the aforementioned baby. Being born on the NW side AND being a Sox fan, I'm familiar with both parks/areas. From strictly a game-viewing perspective, Comiskey (can't help it) is an underrated ballpark. Obviously, though, it's easy for a quasi-local to recommend driving. Ultimately, though, you really can't go wrong with a large group going to a Cubs game. The fans are generally well-natured about the ribbing us interlopers give them during the occasional visit, and the park is surrounded by tons of alcohol and food.

 

The hotel is in a great spot for getting to Wrigley on the red line and very centrally located to downtown stuff, definitely a good spot.

 

It wouldn't be the same if you weren't there for me to cuss out.

 

Connected? Is that what the kids are calling it these days?

 

I wish I was considered a kid and could tell you.

 

I hereby enter my annual "I really want to go but I have no idea if I can" message

 

This.

 

AD, if you're in, I'm in. Assuming no one else from work has taken that weekend off, of course.

 

I'll need a little time to be able to say for sure, but I feel good about being there for at least Sat-Sun. I make no promises, though.

Tell the folks at work to stick it!

 

Hahahah not so easy when it's a four-person crew and weekends are our busy days. Two people off on the same weekend is virtual insanity.

 

I just stayed at the Doubletree last week. Not bad at all.
