I took my dad on the tour last year in late August for his birthday and it was phenomenal. I particularly enjoyed seeing the clubhouse and dugout. I definitely will never forget seeing Zambrano’s comically large bat collection along with his side-by-side bobbleheads of himself and Michael Barrett in the clubhouse.

My dad’s dad, an enormous Cub fan who once wrote for one of the Chicago papers, was 12 in 1908. My Dad was 12 in 1945. I was 12 in 1984. Needless to say, there’s enormous pressure for me to father a miraculous 12 year old this year.

I definitely recommend this tour to anybody here.

a couple years ago (2005 maybe? What was the last year of the old bleachers?). Anyway, as someone from out of town (northern Minnesota), who gets to go to games only once every other year at best, I really enjoyed it. I also really liked going to the press box (seeing as I work in sports radio), and the dug-out. That was also the first time I’d even been in the bleachers (I then sat in the new bleachers the next year for a game the following year – but was glad to have seen the old bleachers up close)

Anyway, bottom line, I’d highly recomend it.

This is simply to echo the posts above—if you are ever in Chicago when the Cubs aren’t home and want to see the ballpark anyway, the tour is an excellent way to do so. Proceeds from ticket sales go to Cubs Care.

To moose97, yes, 2005 was the last year of the old bleachers, so that’s probably when you did the tour.

Now that I hear it’s cool maybe I’ll go for sure.
