A Night at Wrigley Field

Last night Andy and I went to the Cubs game. This was our first Wrigley Field experience. Andy got our tickets from a friend at his work. We were surprised to take our seats and find ourselves just a few rows from the field. We had amazing seats! Mike, Andy's coworker, and his fiance Amanda were there with us.
Our experience was complete with hot dogs, a loud heckler nearby, grumpy-old-men-Cubs-fans behind us, the Pittsburgh coach getting kicked out of the game, gorgeous weather, crunchy peanut shells all over the ground, a no-nonsense old-lady usher who could silence the most obnoxious drunks.... oh yea, and a baseball game.
Wrigley Field is very charming and unique. There are many traditions at Wrigley Field that add to the nostalgia and ambiance. Watching a game at Wrigley Field truly is a baseball experience, now I know what everyone is talking about. The fans are devoted to the Cubs and they show their enthusiasm.
We stayed for nine innings, then we had to get home. The girls stayed home with a babysitter. They were sleeping like angels when we got home.
We had a wonderful evening, though the Cubs ended up losing in the 15th inning.
