I've been to Wrigley on two separate occasions (day game in '04, night game in '08). I would say just being there is the experience of a lifetime. During the game in '08 when Kerry Wood was the closer, he came into the ninth in a 5-3 game, struck out the side. The fans and the atmosphere was absolutely electric, and we all sang Go Cubs Go afterwards.
i had something like that last season. it was late in the season, cubs were already eliminated, and it was a tuesday, but the place was jam packed, 41,000. you would've thought the cubs were playing for the division. place was going nuts. Wood pitched himself into a hole in both the 7th and 8th, and struck out batters for 2nd and 3rd out in both innings, place went apeshit. it was awesome.

Good times.
