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
My first post for my grad research is up! Please check it out and offer feedback! It's on the MLB fan experience tab of my page! I definitely still have some kinks I need to work out on WordPress and I am hoping I can find someone in Denver to help me with this. Speaking … Continue reading First MLB stadium review is up, and I am headed home to beautiful Colorado!
Wrigley has always been my point of reference for my most amazing baseball experiences. For this reason and its rich history, I have always believed it is the best park in baseball... 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!

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!
So yesterday, I wanted to post a really in-depth update. But the truth is, doing so is much more difficult than I originally anticipated. I have to give props to bloggers because it is a lot more work than most of us realize. Yesterday’s update was particularly challenging for a couple of reasons. First, whenever … Continue reading Daily Update: What's Coming Up? First games!
