Wrigley Field - Aisle 239
Thursday, April 24, 2008
I went to the Cubs game on Monday night and sat in a section I hadn't sat in before: Aisle 239. The seats were fantastic for a number of reasons. Here's a photograph of the view from Aisle 239.
Pros
• Great views of everything, the game, people in the stands, people on the Cubs Rooftops
• Can see everything in the stadium, except about five foot zone from the rightfield foul wall
• Conveniently located by rightfield entrance, which is close to the El stop, Harry Caray's statue, Harry Caray's bar, the Sports Corner, and Bacci's Pizzeria.
• Convenient to non-crowded bathrooms. Go down the stair well by the Sheffield lounge and there is a set of restrooms that are significantly less busy than most of the Wrigley Field restrooms.
Cons
• Aisle 239 is far down the right field line. The angles are long, so a tall person in front of you could obstruct a large swath of the field. (However, the vertical staging of the seats is pretty good in that section.
• The seat angle (when facing straight forward) is more directed toward third base than home plate. I had a bit of a sore neck from sitting at an angle and then twisting to see the scoreboard.
So there you have it, a review of Aisle 239... oh and the ticket price? $24 for an April weeknight game. Not bad at all, and even better since I was given my ticket, so I can start saving up for my World Series tickets as the Cubs' World Series odds skyrocket.
