The Stanley Cup at Wrigley Field.

Last night Julie and I went to Wrigley Field for the BP Crosstown Classic between the White Sox and the Cubs. The Blackhawks were on hand with the Stanley Cup.

Side Note:

* As low scoring baseball goes the game was interesting to watch since both pitchers had ‘no-hitters‘ going for quite a while. The Cubs ended up winning 1-0.

** We got rooftop tickets via youswoop.com and went to the Down the Line rooftop. I was not impressed at all. There was little information on their website (when do doors open, where’s the entrance, etc.) and the way the whole thing was run was shady. On the main deck they had three couches setup and then tables and chairs behind them. If you weren’t one of the first 3 people up you didn’t get a couch (I was fourth) and when you sat at the tables people just stood in front of you. We ended up moving down stairs and watched from the window and the TV. I think they might have just started business this season but compared to the Skybox on Sheffield this place was a joke.

Blackhawks win the Stanley Cup.

Last night the neighborhood was pretty loud as the people went to the streets after the Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup.

Parade is on Friday.

Stanley Cup Final: Game Five.

This past Sunday Julie and I went to Game Five of the Stanley Cup Final. As much as I’d like to see the Stanley Cup won in Chicago it felt like the odds were against the Hawks going into this game. After dropping games three and four to the Flyers everyone had assumed the series would end in Game Six. Now if that holds true the Blackhawks will have their first Cup in 49 years. As all the Chicago games have been in this series it was intense and the Hawks started off quickly getting their first PowerPlay goal in about three months.
