OK
What I liked most: The incredible turnout of the Twins fans and the fun interactions I had with Twins and Cubs fans alike. There was a lot of mutual respect along with fun jabs at each other—thanks Milton Bradley!
What I liked least: The ridiculous bathroom lines at Wrigley. It’s truly an inning or more affair to do the bathroom/beer/food trip.

Good and Bad
The good and bad in Wrigley are both the same: the seats. There are some amazing seats in Wrigley field, but there are also some terrible ones. You don’t want to be far down the lines in the 200 sections 9way back up in the first tier) because you’re under the balcony and can’t see or hear anything. But anywhere in the infield, even way waaaaay up high is a great view.
And yeah, Chicagoans and Minnesotans have quite a lot in common. Minneapolis is very much like a miniature Chicago flipped around north and south with lots of small lakes instead of one big one. Very similar in many ways.

Pretty much
my thoughts. Our seats were in the 400 section, but our view was outstanding. The atmosphere was outstanding and the turnout of Twins fans really made the game fun. Interacting with Twins and Cubs fans was great, I didn’t meet anyone that wasn’t friendly.
