Thanks, Walt.  My husband absolutely hates crowds as well, but you'd be 
surprised how easy going & orderly big crowds can be in Chicago--most of the 
time,  and it's amazing when you think of Wrigley field.  This stadium is in 
the middle of a residential neighborhood, with bars & restaurants of course. 
It's not off a major freeway or in some isolated industrialesque area. 
Think of a truly residential area on a grid system then imagine a big 
baseball stadium in the center.  Voleewa!  You've got Wrigley field.  Some 
how the traffic keeps moving & the folks go about their business.  Cheers, 
Christine
