Monday and Tuesday night the Cub's sales dept. and front office offered a 1st time Cub's season ticket get together. They had free food- burgers, hotdogs, ice cream etc for us and Tom was there meeting everyone.

We were allowed on the field, in the dugouts, and up into the press box. The dugout was cool as was being able to fall into the Ivy. Press box felt old school. On top of all of this I won an autographed Fergie Jenkins autographed ball.

Another odd thing I learned is apparently the cub's players fly back from the road game travelling first to Wrigley-field before heading home. We were told we couldnt enter the home club house because they were soon to return.

Here are a few pics.

Awesome! Sounds like you had a great time! Thanks for the jealousy inducing pics. I've only been "behind the scenes" at one ball park (Safeco Field in Seattle) - would love to see Wrigley that way.

Ha. I love that Bob whited out the phone numbers but left the press box's WiFi access login and password available for us.

Looks like a great time, Bob. I'm jealous.

Cool pictures! I've only been in the clubhouse so I'm pretty jealous. I hope you made the nuts and bolts in Gordon Wittenmeyer's chair loose so it would break when he sat in it.
