Top Ten Events Mrs. Dubs and I Want to See at Wrigley

The last few years the Cubs have been trying to use Wrigley for events other than baseball. In the past this included Jimmy Buffet and The Police and this year a minor league game and a Blackhawks’ game are planned for the near future. Mrs. Dubs and I were talking about what else would be cool to have there. This is are Top Ten events we would like to see at Wrigley. What events would you like to see? PS check my take on the whole A-Rod divorce thing at TUP.


Ladies first...

5. Free Booze Night

Free food/drinks/souvenirs for one game, as much as anyone can handle. The game should be Cubs vs. Sox; just imagine how fun that would be- well until Southsiders and Northsiders got wasted and total chaos would follow.

4. Coldplay and Dave Matthews Band in concert

3. CHICAGO the musical

My favorite musical and movie, performed on stage live at night at Wrigley would be sweet.

2. Chicago Fashion Week

New York and Paris Fashion week draw in the biggest and most respected collection of couture designers from across the globe. Inviting couture designers to showcase their runway designs for fall and spring would be incredible and inspire some dimwitted Midwestern fashion victims to wake up and realize sweatpants and sneakers aren’t gonna cut it. Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Fendi, Gucci, Proenza Schuler, Dior, Marc Jacobs… Absofuckinglutely amazing.

1. Chicago Olympics 2016

Every Chicagoan knows that Mayor Daley has recently been petitioning hard and raising money in order to secure the Olympic games come to Chicago in 2016. If the Olympics did make Chicago their final choice, then obviously the no. 1 event to be held at Wrigley Field would be the opening ceremony of the games, track and field events, and the closing ceremony. That would be glorious.

5. Big Screens in outfield for away playoff games

I always thought it would be a good idea for the Cubs to put big screens in left and right field facing the bleachers and show the away playoff games like they did at the United Center. The bleachers would be insane with the over-served, praying for a Cubs victory.

4. An Irish Festival

Using Wrigley as a hub for a four-block party that would absorb all of the surrounding bars, restaurants, etc. in the neighborhood. Allowing Chicagoans to get drunk on Wrigley Field might be the greatest time in the world. Imagine the random sex that would go on throughout the park. This would include bands like the Dropkick Murphys that would keep the party going for days on end.

3. Bears vs. Packers

Bringing back Bears football to Wrigley would simply be insane. The Bears faithful could possibly burn down Wrigleyville if the opportunity arose.

2. Gladiator Fights

Could you think of anything as cool as slaves fighting each other as lions and tiger and bears fight along. That combined with the Wrigley Field atmosphere would be the sickest thing ever.

1. Cubs win World Series at Wrigley
