The Cubs and Cardinals playing at Wrigley Field was the purpose behind a road trip to the Windy City. Tickets to a make up game as well as tickets for a regularly scheduled game found Matthew and Dana taking in two games in the best baseball rivalry in the game.
Dana has the car loaded and is ready for the 3 1/2 hour drive.
Prior to Saturday's game, the two stopped by one of Wrigleyville's best attractions, Harry Caray's Tavern, a previous Night Out on the Town.
Dana and Matt joined two friends for Saturday's game. Next to Dana is David "Big D" Blaker, the Video Coordinator at the University of Wisconsin. Sporting the Iowa, Outback Bowl t-shirt is Greg Dils, former co-worker of Dana's. This was Big D's first trip to Wrigley Field.
Matt and Dana laugh off a couple of obnoxious Cardinal fans. Many from St. Louis found their way to Wrigley Field, but as an announcer on WGN pointed out, Moonshine Sales end after the 7th inning and the fans dressed in red only had to brush four of their teeth.
After Saturday's victory we headed to Merkle's Bar, the tavern on Clark known for it's Iowa flavor.
But before heading back downtown, Matt and Dana stop for a similar picture Matthew had with Colin earlier this year.
A beautiful night in Chicago. Hotel Sax were the accomodations for the weekend which was located adjacent to the Chicago River. A night with low humidity and temps hovering in the mid 60s allowed for a great walk up and down the city streets.
Dana and Matthew headed back to Wrigley to use tickets from a game earlier in the season that was called on account of rain. These seats were located behind home plate with a great view of the historic ballpark. Another Cub - Cardinal game and another Cub victory.
