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
