Anyone and everyone in Chicago area : I do not know the best way to do this and would appreciate any advice that can be given on any and all user groups out there where I can distribute this message. If anyone can help get this message "out there" in as many user groups as possible I would appreciate it GREATLY !!. I will be visiting the Chicago area July 30 - Aug 3 for the first time. I am actually traveling to Bristol, Indiana to bring my 91 year old grandmother to her one and only living sibling's (sister) birthday party. She will be 100 years old on July 31. My question : My wife and I will be spending 3 days in Chicago and we will finally get the chance to live out a long time dream - attending a Cub's game in Wrigley Field !! It may not seem such a big thing to anyone living in the area, but we have been Cub's fans for quite some time, although natives of New Orleans, and are VERY EAGER to get into the ball park on Aug 1 to see the Cubs play the Phillies. After going to the Cubs web page, it appears that tickets are not available to the general public. We would so much appreciate anyone out there that could help us find 2 tickets to the Aug 1 game for a reasonable price. We'd love to get into Wrigley to enjoy a Cubs game and would appreciate any help we could get in obtaining two tickets (as well as suggestions on other things to see or do while in the Windy City.) I can be contacted at the following phone number and e mail address. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help us with this little (BIG) dream of sharing a day in Wrigley with hometown Cub's fans and watching, as Harry Carey, God rest his soul, used to put it..........CUBS WIN ......CUBS WIN...... !!!!! Looking forward to your responses. Sincerely, Craig Hill 504 257-3915 (please leave message) hillcp@charter.net
