Wrigley Field Concert Seating

Hello All,

I am considering buying tickets for a concert in Wrigley Field. Having never been there for a concert, I am not quite sure of the layout and am debating whether to spend big bucks on a ';field'; ticket or just get tickets in a section.

Does anyone have an idea of how Wrigley Field would be for a rock concert? That is, from the bleachers, would the band easy to see? I guess they%26#39;ll have a big monitor, but maybe someone could confirm this.

Thanks!

First understand that rock concerts are not normally held at Wrigley Field, so it%26#39;s tough to say what%26#39;s %26#39;typical%26#39;. Nothing is!

That said, when Jimmy Buffet appeared at Wrigley the layout was similar to that being shown for The Police. The stage was in the outfield, with folding seats on the field, and most seats in the grandstands. There were large monitors near the stage. Also, there are small, crummy, old TV monitors throughout Wrigley that normally simulcast the game b/c many areas have obstructed views.

Note that at Wrigley Field, when you refer to Bleacher seats, for baseball those are the far outfield seats. Hence, for a concert these would actually be behind or along the stage.

Wrigley Field is not that large, so generally you%26#39;ll be OK in any seat. However, if you don%26#39;t want to go for a field seat - - you probably want to try for what would be Outfield Box seats (i.e. Sections 4-8, 101-110, 134-142, 34-36). The Terrace seats (i.e. 201-209) have the upper deck over them, so you get a bit of a confined feeling and can%26#39;t see the stage as well.

Enjoy the show.

Hi Cliff,

Thanks so much for your response and your excellent advise. Your information is exactly what I need to help me decide whether it%26#39;s worth it to even go to this concert. We are from out of town, but are considering staying an extra night for the concert, which would involve the expense of changing flights, an extra hotel and of course the expensive tickets. If I%26#39;m going to shell out that kind of money, I%26#39;d like to be able to at least see Sting ;).

It%26#39;s good to know that Wrigley is fairly small. Also, I will focus on tickets in the sections you mentioned. I%26#39;m thinking maybe the higher up seats might be better than the folding chairs on the field.

Thanks again!
