First time at Wrigley!

Finally made it to Wrigley Field!
Below is a photo story of my trip: 2 Cubs fans and 2 Brewers fan (myself included) going to the Cubs vs. Brewers game.

Enjoying the summer weather while waiting for my friend to pick me up in Milwaukee in the morning.
Waiting to be Picked Up in Milwaukee

Waiting at O’Hare to pick-up a friend. We got yelled at a few times by the pick-up zone ladies. They weren’t messing around 😛

My friend is tired of waiting for the friend we’re picking up…

Made it to Chicago and parked about half a mile from Wrigley Field. Two cubs fans vs. myself and my friend Mike in the Corey Hart jersey.

Making our way inside after my sunscreen got hijacked by the entry guards. The guy behind me had a 70-200mm Canon L-series (pro) lens on his DSLR (I’m using a 24-70mm Canon L-series) and hopefully he made it through gate check, they were calling over the supervisor to make a decision as I entered Wrigley. There were a couple people inside Wrigley with long-lenses, but no one with a pro-end lens.

I’ve never had any trouble at Miller Park bringing any of my cameras or lenses in.

Made it to a patio with a great breeze on a hot and humid day (I love the heat).

What a great looking field… sold out game… fans stay the whole time…

Mike and I selfie. Note that is not a weird sweat stain on me (lower right of frame).

Patio break for some fresh air and a great view.

Checking out the upper deck. Not a bad view anywhere in the stadium.

Post-game in Wrigleyville… the rivalry continues…

Distracted by the sweet lights on the ceiling…
Cool Shit on Bar Ceiling

You can imagine how exhausting dealing with these idiots all day can be 😛
This is What I had to Deal With

Walking to a different Wrigleyville bar. The guys laugh in the bottom right kills me.

What an awesome sign and entrance.
Wrigley Field!

Time to head back to Wisco…

Thunderstorms and ridiculous 80’s music kept us entertained on the way back.
