Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

Talk About Your Ballpark Ripoffs!

From the May 6th Chicago Tribune "Lineup Changes" by Phil Vettel.

Vettel is a Tribune critic who wrote about some new offerings at Wrigley Field and Comiskey Park (I don't use that other name).

The new things sounded good, but were out of my price range.


WRIGLEY FIELD

At Captain Morgan Club (outside the park): fried portobello mushrooms, pork-shank wings.

Inside the park: a High Plains Bison hot dog "At a mere $5.25, this is one terrific hot dog..." You can also get a foot-long version for $7. Must be nice to have the company paying the tab. I don't consider $5.25 for any hot dog a good deal.

The Sheffield Grill, for private parties, has a High Plains Bison Burger for $8. Then, you have hot and juicy chicken breast sandwiches for $6.50, pretzel bites for $4.50 and an Italian Club sandwich for "a good deal" at $6.75. say Good Ripoff.

Then, there's the Big Slugger Nachos at $15 which is two pounds of tortilla chips, chili con carne, melted cheese, tomatoes, onions, jalapenos, black olives, green onions, sour cream and cilantro in a keep-sake Cubs helmet. This might be worth looking into, though.

It will cost a family a small fortune to eat at Wrigley.

Still Too much for Me. --RoadDog


I Wonder: Why is it people say they "slept like a baby" when babies wake up like every two hours?
