Since I had a few days in Chicago, and by luck both the Cubs and the White Sox happened to be playing at home on July 4th weekend, I had to check out both. While Wrigley Field had the historic charm and the surrounding neighborhood going for it, I have to say U.S. Cellular Field (the "Cell") was not too shabby.
Before visiting the stadium, I had heard bad things about the Cell. That the neighborhood was terrible. That the stadium was boring and generic. That the folks were unfriendly. All these things turned out to not be true.
