I really liked Corridor Brewing in Wrigleyville. Not too far from the ballpark and they serve food.

Can't wait for it to be Thursday! Wrigley Field! Hell yeah!

I haven't done a baseball road trip in a long time... But when I did, I had a hot-dog rating scale.

I remember Cleveland was near the top of the list. They had some kind of deluxe dog - a larger than normal beef hot dog with a ton of fixings. Fantastic!!

Wrigley was average...

I haven't been to Milwaukee, but I imagine they'll have some type of beer brats. I also imagine they'll have a ton of good restaurants around the park to choose from...


Enjoy - where ever you end up!

Really average at Wrigley that's a shame to hear! Interesting see I would have thought Cleveland would be lower but I have been known to be wrong (a lot).

Brauts for sure!

I can't wait. 3:30 am wake up call Thursday, flight is at 6...

The most disappointing was the Dodger Dog. It was dead last (out of about 20 Ball Parks I've been to)... I love hot dogs, but this one was just bad...

I will take your word for it since I doubt I'll get out there

Hope it's a fun trip, Redseat! I haven't spent time in any of those places, so I don't have any recs for you, but travel safe and enjoy

Hope you have great fun and appreciate you not coming to the Cape as we are going to be packed to the gills

I can come to the Cape whenever I want... Little family Cottage in Chatham.. But yeah unless you actually LIVE on the Cape... DO NOT go Memorial Day weekend!

What kind of food do you like? IE...do you want something local favorite or German or Polish or???? If you answer on Thurs before you head out I might be able to help you out....if not...and I'm not sure if it's still there, but Maders is a kind of famous German joint downtown....if you want a local flavor thing, it's a shame you won't be there Fri night as the Fireman's picnics kick off this weekend...it's a local thing where they have bands and a beer tent where the proceeds go to the local fire department...it's where they only accept the famous coupins Ron White talks about

Miller parking lot is a good time.


Feels like a college football tailgate.

Have a great trip man. Three great places to see a game.

1 more thing you might check out...the Summerfest grounds holds all kinds of festivals and some of them are a blast...it's about 15 minutes from Miller Park if traffic isn't bad and a week or 2 if it's bad... (might be off by a little on the 2nd one)

Sorry that I didn't get my post in earlier, but an update or trip report would be great. Thanks

No worries. I am back. Got home 6:15 pm and extremely exhausted!

1,414, miles driven

Games Seen:
Wrigley Field - Had my first ever Chicago Dog and yes it was damn good!
Camden Yard - Had Crab Cake from the restaraunt in the stadium. Slightly biased, Cape has better ones but still good
American Family Field
Progressive Field

Saw:
Cinci - Got ONTO THE FIELD.... sat in the dugout. Incredible atmosphere from the surrounding area loaded with restaurants, bars and it must be a scene on game day!
White Sox - Area was a dump
Pirates - What a great area
Nationals Park - Beautiful - Couldn't get in since it was Memorial Day and completely locked up tight but DC was amazing. Ours hotel was right next to the White house. Amazing restaurants

Bengals Stadium pretty sick though pro shop sucked (I know out of season but still)

Tickets were $9 bucks each! Holy hell!

Stadium did have roof closed but still sick as all!

Forgot to add at Progressive it was Free Naylor jersey night.... We walked in thinking we were like fan 30,000 but sure enough we got one... I mean the line was HUUUUUUUUUGE but we went in another gate

Glad to hear you enjoyed yourself...is $9 cheap or expensive? Haven't been to a game in 20 years or so.
