I haven’t done standing-room-only for a Cubs game since the 2015 postseason, and I think I’m gonna do it again today. The grandstand is obviously fundamentally different than it was back then, and I kinda want to mill around and check out lots of areas of the park on a Friday afternoon while the game is going on. Usually I’m so parked and fixated on the game that by the time I think about moving around and getting some food or seeing some friends, it’s already the seventh inning stretch. Think I’m gonna wear a red Cubs championship shirt today, too, just for the heck of it.
