Do you mean at Petco?

Or any entertainment venue in the US?

As a pro,
I know that concessions @ Wrigley for an MLB Cubs game are
1) reasonably priced
2) have a decent selection
3) beat any major concert venue.

After going to 3 games in DET last week, Cubs fans certainly don’t know how good they have it.

Come visit me inside Wrigley along the Addison side mezzanine fence straight up from 1st base.

I realize that prices at other places are higher than Wrigley

… but Wrigley prices also went up significantly this year.

I mean just about anywhere.

I can only get to Wrigley every so often. All of the venues I’ve been at from PHX to Anaheim to L-A to SD…..the prices are skrocketing.

bringing food into Wrigley....

I would guess that being able to bring food into Wrigley, unlike most MLB parks today, potentially makes the Wrigley experience one of the best values in MLB, even with the high ticket prices. This aspect of Wrigley is such an important, unadvertised part of the experience that many who visit Wrigley do not know.

There’s a Cubs commercial on WGN Radio where a young lady talks about going to the game with her father and having a great experience, even though they couldn’t afford the hot dog. When I hear it, I just think they could have packed a lunch or brought some in from the vendor down the street for 1/2 the price.

I hope this does not change with new ownership.
