MANY friends who live out-of-town are flying in next weekend. So not only will you be dealing with a T-Box/St. Patrick crowd but add another wave of pilgrims.

Gonna be absurd

There was a $100 cover to get into Cubby Bear on Saturday.

And I'm sure there was a long line of idiots willing to pay it.

Why are they idiots? If you have the money and wish to be there, more power to you.

I'm considering it for Friday.

How thrilling is it to watch a loss to the Cardinals after you've been to the mountain top?

More power to them. I think it's stupid to pay $100 just to get into a bar to watch a baseball game on TV.

I'm sorry you're an idiot, too.

Sounds like a bunch of Wayne Stylies at Barleycorn's.

Looks like we're all in agreement that leash is dumb

Parking ban for any cars on these street. Permits or passes included in the ban. Don't drive. Take L or the bus.

I am probably doing Metra from Arlington Park and then busing it to Clark. My guy still has one roof top ticket left....

Unless you guys are meeting up earlier, I will probably just go straight to the roof. I am more than willing to hit somewhere outside of Wrigleyville too.

Bars are already packed. It's going to be insanity down there.

Gotta make the most of that $100 cover!

That would piss me off to no fucking end if I lived there.

Wow. Just heard this on the news. At John Barleycorn they are charging $250 cover for the home games and $500 to reserve a table. I guess that keeps out the riff-raff. They'll get a high society crowd.

PSA if anyone is driving in; there is a Shell station at Addison & Halsted that charges you $20 to park, and the $ is donated to March of Dimes. They have about 10 spots, but I'm sure they will go quickly.

I am probably doing Metra from Arlington Park and then busing it to Clark. My guy still has one roof top ticket left.... Unless you guys are meeting up earlier, I will probably just go straight to the roof. I am more than willing to hit somewhere outside of Wrigleyville too.

We were able to get into a place, but the streets were packed everywhere. That's the way it should be. I love to see all the excitement. They were charging up to $100 to park in Cleveland, and I guess those lots normally go for $10. The Uber guy told us the covered parking garage was charging $225.

But yeah that is the plan. Despite all the angst around here, it would be fun hanging with supposedly jolly Cubs fans!
