Cubs Preseason Games In Vegas
Hey guys and gals, hope everyone is as excited as I am for the upcoming season. I read this site daily since the 2005 season, I just dont post very much. I am not sure if this is diary worthy, but I didnt know where else to turn. I go to Vegas every year for the second weekend of the NCAA basketball tournament, missing the Cubs games there by one week each of the last few seasons. This year, however, the basketball tournament is one week later and I will be out there for the Cubs games.
I was looking for some input about the game in general. First, what are the ticket prices? Are they in line with a regular Cubs game at Wrigley? I went online only to find that there were 2 game packages and season game tickets but no prices associated with either choice. Also, what is the park like (I think it is Cashman Park??)? Are there bad seats, good seats, places to avoid? Al, I know you usually go to Spring Training, but I cant remember if you stay with them through the Vegas trip. I am looking for any feedback as I plan on going to at least the Friday night game. Thanks in advance for your collective help. And as always, Go Cubs!

Cashman Field
I don't know what the tickets will cost when they are available (right now they're only available to Las Vegas 51s season ticket holders). I do know that if you don't get a ticket early, the only tickets that will be left will cost over $100. But if you act early, the cheapest tickets will be $30-$40. Last year the Friday night game featured a lot more of the big-league roster, so that is the only game I will be attending. The Saturday game last year started with what was essentially the opening day starting lineup, but by the 3rd or 4th inning it was mostly no-name minor leaguers. It took Len and Bob literally 2 or 3 minutes to figure out who the new pitcher was at one point.

Oops
I'm pretty sure they sell tickets to sit in the grassy areas by the foul polls during the Cubs games, and they can set up a lot of additional seating in the outdoor club level area. 12,000 is probably a much more accurate estimate for the number of tickets available.
