Herm had never been to that Wrangley Field, or whatever it’s called, so Kristin got a bunch of tickets and we all went on Sunday night. I met up with Herm, Allison, Kristin, Cousin, Trent and his brother Tim at The Piggery first. I hadn’t been there for a long time and they added a rooftop deck and bar, which was really nice and gave great views of Popeye’s and The Diner Grill!
Allison excused herself to go to the bathroom and this great big pig mascot came out of nowhere, walked up to Herm and gave him a hug, before disappearing into nowhere. Minutes later Allison reappeared. Very suspicious.
We walked over to Wrigley Field and met up with Jen and Chad and Tarah and her family. Our seats were a little spread around, but the stadium wasn’t full and we eventually all made it into the same area, within a few rows of each other.
The weather was great and it was such a nice night to be at the ballpark. When Makai and I were at the Farmers Market in the morning it was drizzly and I was afraid that it would be freezing at the night game, but it was not.
I went to Wrigley Field last year for my dad’s first visit there, but this year there were some improvements in the stadium. They added two digital jumbotrons. One shows all the game stats and one shows which player is up to bat and replays and things like that. I found these to be really helpful as a passive watcher who would often wonder what was going on!
The screen was also very helpful in seeing super blood moon lunar eclipse. Real life eclipse on at the top. Jumbotron eclipse below!

The Cubs beat the Pirates! After the game, some people headed to Guthrie’s but I headed home because I had an early work morning the next day.
Bonus: Cubs shirt selfies using Allison’s favorite app, Beauty Plus!
