    Questions for Chicago peeps.

    Driving up to take a buddy to the Cards/Cubs game Sunday...

    Is it pretty easy to just buy from scalpers before the game, or do I need to buy some before from Stub Hub or whatever? looking for a couple bleacher seats, obv.

    Also, good recs for pizza & italian beef spots would be appreciated.

    gracias

    CardS cubs usually a big game with all the cards fans that come up so I would stub hub or Craigslist. If you scalp most of the sports stores around Wrigley sell tickets so you don't have to just deal with the street people. I am going tomorrow should be a good weekend. Except the cubs suck more than usual of course. As the cubs suck you shouldn't have to overpay a lot.

    Giodornos pizza is obviously legit Chicago style. I had it recently and it just felt like eating a loaf of bread. I can eat a lot and I don't think I finished a second slice.

    I'm pretty sure the place we went for Italian Beef is called Portillo's. The sandwich was great and I specifically remember the chocolate cake milkshake. It's a shake with a huge slice of amazing cake blended into it.

    have been to chicago a bunch but never to a cubs game

    doing some research and totally shocked at how much general admission bleacher seats are (like 80 bucks a piece)

    i've sat field box, ten rows off the field before at busch for about the same price

    I mean obviously you're going to see a price difference between cubs and soxs but that's just like comparing cubs to the cards

    i guess i'm just spoiled

    -i hardly ever actually pay for tickets, i get enough free tickets thrown my way from friends/(huge)family

    -cards tickets prices are so cheap, i've sat in the bleachers at busch dozens of times at probably $10 per on average

    -cubs haven't won the world series since 1908

    Map out a trip through stl, cleveland, detroit and hook over to chi and back. Probably wouldn't be to expensive, shit I was just at progressive for zero dollars (minus food and beer)

    Edit: we sat next to the drummer guy you hear on tv during Indians games, cool guy with over 3k games under his belt

    don't have time right now for a proper tour like that, promised this kid if he got his visa i would do what it takes to meet him in chicago and take him to a cards/cubs game

    not even planning to spend overnight in chicago, unless i'm hella tired

    kid isn't even 21 so it's not like we can hit the bars, skrip clubs, casino, etc
