I'll be returning to Wrigley Field with my family in August to see the Cubs play the Mets. The next day we'll be seeing the White Sox play the Red Sox on the South Side.

Many reports I've read come close to comparing the Oakland Alameda County Stadium to Dante's Seventh Circle of Hell (or was it the other way around?). Marlins Park is lower than THAT?
Wow!

I'm probably being too tough on Marlins Park. It's not that bad. But generally I like outdoor stadiums. I feel like baseball should be watched either under the lights, or with a hot sun beating down on you.

And in our particular seat at Marlins Park, there was a leak, so I spent the game getting dripped on. It was a Mets game, and after jumping out to the lead, they lost, and the empanadas we had been looking forward to getting were underwhelming.
