Thinking about watching the World Series near Wrigley Field? Think again. Unless you have a few Benjamin Franklins tucked in your wallet or purse, Wrigleyville is not the place to watch the games.
The atmosphere might be great, but experiencing history in an environment like that comes at a hefty cost. The majority of bars around the ballpark, including The Cubby Bear, Sluggers and Merkle’s (which is known as the “Pink Flamingo” during playoffs) are charging a minimum $100 cover just to get into the bar — that cost excludes drinks and food. Most domestic beers are priced between $8 to $12.
