Wednesday was our anniversary and another great weather day. We also had tickets to the Chicago Cubs game against the St. Louis Cardinals at Wrigley Field.

The John Hancock Center.

The Weber Grill Restaurant on State Street.

We had some time in the morning so we headed for the Target store downtown.

We took the Red Line subway out to Wrigley Field. As soon as we got off there was a throng of people outside the stadium.

Inside the stadium.

Wrigley Field is the second oldest stadium in the majors, it was built in 1914 and has been home of the Cubs since 1916.

Making our way up to our seats.

We had seats in the upper deck down the right field line.

We were sitting in row one.

The grounds crew grooming the field after the 3rd inning.

We shared a bag of peanuts.

Looking over the rail during the 7th inning stretch.

Look at the seats on the roof of the buildings surrounding the stadium.

It was a good game considering the Cardinals lead the division and the Cubs are in last. The final score was 5-4 for St. Louis.

Taking our time leaving the stadium.

Outside the stadium.

We walked around the stadium along West Waveland Avenue.

The Harry Caray statue.

There are bleachers on almost all of the buildings.

A statue of Ron Santo, he was elected to the hall of Fame last year.
