Exactly. Sometimes I like to stop somewhere for a beer before or after the game, but the places at which to do so near the park that aren't obnoxious as hell are few and far between.

On another note, I'm glad I'm not the only person who saw the irony of this being given the same name as the most famous landmark in St. Louis. That was my first reaction.

The Ricketts family looks like they didn't do their homework when buying the team. I don't think they knew Wrigley was in as poor of shape as it is.
