It's weird to think that it's been 20 years since the Cubs played the first night game at Wrigley Field. Well here we are in 2008 and as the calender would have us believe...sure enough, it's been 20 years.
The Cubs only play about 25 home night games or so each year, which understandably, send the ticket prices skyrocketing. Naturally to get the full Wrigley experience an afternoon game might be the way to go--but a cool summer breeze under the stars isn't bad.
So what are the Cubs doing to celebrate this historic anniversary? Why an afternoon game against the Cardinals of course.
The sick fact of the day: a bleacher seat on 8/8/88 was only $6. I paid $50 for my ticket earlier this year off eBay. How the times change.
The wonderful folks at Democraticcentral.com have a great historic review of the first night game at Wrigley. Check it out here.
