Beautiful Coors Field, I am on my way to see my Rockies continue kicking some ass. You guys are playing amazing and I cannot wait to see you kick SF's butt. I already watched you win one when you beat my Cubbies at Wrigley. If you're confused as to how both the Rockies and Cubs … Continue reading Rockies v. SF Giants GAMEDAY
So much has happened since my last post. Obviously, I have made it to Colorado. It feels great to be home. Philly is cool, but it does not feel like home. Chicago is where I was born and raised and where my family is, but again, it does not feel like home. The moment I … Continue reading Home Sweet Home
The first stop of my epic summer research project was the iconic Wrigley Field, home of the world champion Chicago Cubs. Wrigley is one of my favorite places in the world, which is why I chose to go there first. Because I grew up in Chicago, I have countless memories here. I watched some of … Continue reading Cubs v. Rockies, Wrigley Field 6/9/17

I am on my way to the St. Louis Cardinals' Busch Stadium, and I am eager to see if my theory holds true. … Continue reading Game 2! St. Louis Cardinals v. Philadelphia Phillies!
Besides baseball, the main things I have been looking forward to about my St. Louis visit is doing an Arch tour and BBQ. My hotel room has a view of the arch that is bomb, but the tickets to go up in the Arch are sold out for the day. This means that tomorrow I … Continue reading STL BBQ
Despite growing up in Chicago, I never saw the Illinois state capitol. There was once a class trip in grade school but for some reason or another, I did not go. Since I was driving past, I thought why not check it out? Here are some pics from my visit. The second picture is the … Continue reading Illinois History
So today was the first game. I found it easier to navigate Wrigley than I believe any other stadium will be. I already have so many fond memories of Wrigley from growing up in Chicago--I pretty much know my way around there. A lot of money was spent on stadium upgrades, which honestly, I found … Continue reading Meet me in St Louie, Louie, meet me at the fair…
My Cubbies may have lost, but I cannot think of a better place to have started my research! I will share all the details in my first "official" blog post where I discuss fan experience later this evening or tomorrow night, but here are some pics from today!
I got an awesome seat that my mom bought me for $50! Can't wait to start my research at Wrigley, one of my fav places in the world! On Saturday, I leave for STL, where I see a game on Sunday! Then I drive to Lawrence, KS where I will stay overnight before heading to … Continue reading First game tomorrow!
