I Voted today!!!

I picked Great American Ballpark, for no other reason than it is the only stadium near me so unless I am going to Wrigley (5 hours away) I will catch a game there.

Your post was fun for me. Brings back memories. Best game I have ever been to was Aug. 28, 2005. MY BIRTHDAY present was being present at Wrigley when they retired Sandberg's #23. AWESOME DAY!!!

I voted Minute Maid

Not because I like the stadium, but it's the only other ballpark i've seen the cubs in (that I remember the game). I've been to Wrigley 3 times, Minute Maid twice (once for the cubs), and Turner Field twice (I think one game might of been Chicago, but I was young at the time...)

Well..

... maybe it wasn't written well, but you COULD write a bit about what your most memorable in-person game was. I think we've done this before, but we could do it again.

I still remember the last game of the 1984 regular season, a 2-1 win over the Cardinals. The division had been clinched, but the Cubs came back in the last of the 9th to deny Bruce Sutter what would have been a record-breaking save (at the time). No one left the park after the game

And ten minutes later, the entire team came back on the field for a "victory lap". Now, those sorts of things are commonplace NOW, but in those days, players just didn't do that.

I have a number of games on tape from that year. I still watch the end of that one from time to time.

August 7, 1984

The Cubs didn't have anything locked up yet. The Cubs, going into the day, had a game and 1/2 lead on the Mets. It was a doubleheader. I was 17 years old and had been to many Cub games w/ my father, grandfather, uncles, etc. My dad and uncle took my cousin and I to the game with some of their friends (fellow employees from work, I think)...I think our mothers said that if they were going to "blow off work" and go with their friends, they had better take us w/ them!! I guess they didn't have tickets for my cousin and I either because they bought us bleacher tickets on the street! I have no idea where their seats were. It was the first time I had ever sat in the bleachers. Cubs swept the Mets that day and never looked back. I've never wanted to sit anywhere else (but have) except for the bleachers ever since.

I also have fond memories of game 4 of the 2003 NLCS in Dolphin Stadium. The Cub fans hung around and celebrated in the stands for at least an hour after the game. The fans had filled the whole lower section behind the 3rd base dugout filled w/ revelers...send me a private e-mail and I'll forward digital photos. Little did we know how much disappointment we would suffer the next 3 days......
