Shannon Shark of The Mets Police attended today’s Cubs/Sox game. It was Shannon’s first-ever visit to The Friendly Confines, and the impression left was overwhelmingly positive:

I’m having a blast. Wrigley is 10,000 times better than Citi (or Yankee). Amazing that a 95 year old park can be so much better than one that is three months old…

…No bombardment of audio nor advertising. Organ music…

Interesting that the stores sell tons of variant merch, but almost all just blue and red. Funny how teams can survive without black jerseys and a sponsored noisefest between every inning…

To the NY Yankees: you guys are on crack giving up what you had. If they can make this place work you could’ve made Yankee Stadium work without a Hard Rock Café.

Reading this late today made me feel good about the Cubs and Wrigley. Then I started looking back over today’s game stories.

The good feeling passed.
