    Always a good time. Nice assortment of food options. It is nice to get to a game and you end up talking to someone you've never met in ticket and concession lines and your seats.

    Always a great time watching the iCubs. I particularly enjoy watching the kids. Beers are tall & fat boys and cold. They cost $10.50. Hot dogs are good but a bit pricey
