When not hosting the Chicago Cubs or chariot races, Wrigley Field opens up its friendly confines to an annual showdown of Minor League squads. This year’s “Road to Wrigley” provides an array of activities for children of all ages and traditional minor league attractions that include a pie-launching howitzer. Mascots of both teams, as well as The Famous San Diego Chicken, will entertain fans and fill out tax forms in between innings, and children younger than 15 years old will get an opportunity to run the bases after the game and criticize pitchers for flagrant belly-itching. Additionally, fans may witness deft athleticism from up-and-coming talents such as the Chiefs’ righty hurler Kenneth McNutt, who maintained a trim 1.51 ERA and 6-0 record with 70 strikeouts after 59.2 innings.
Attending a baseball game is more American than driving a Jeep through a meadow of apple pies or trading Russia a mint-condition Honus Wagner card for the entire state of Alaska. Relax with a fun-filled day at historic Wrigley Field while enjoying scenic views, skillful athleticism, and well-reasoned socio-political debates between the manager and home plate umpire with today’s Groupon to "Road to Wrigley."
Note on Cubs.com fees: Fees and tax are not included, so customers will have to pay a per-ticket convenience fee ($2.73), per-order processing fee ($3.75), and an optional print-at-home fee ($6.25) on top of the Groupon price. Free ticket pickup is available at will call.
Groupon Says
Know Your Innings
Baseball's seventh-inning stretch has been a popular tradition since it was invented in ancient Egypt more than 100 centuries ago. However, only now are baseball teams expanding the concept so that each inning has its own signature activity. Here's a look at what you can expect from each inning at your next ball game:
1st Inning: "First-Inning Stretch" lets you recoup half your ticket price if you leave immediately.
2nd Inning: Nachos dropped on the crowd from a helicopter.
3rd Inning: Is played by team members' children.
4th Inning: Mascot-beheading ceremony.
5th Inning: Home runs count double, but friendship is meaningless.
6th Inning: Players are rolled in oats and pigeons are let loose on the field.
7th Inning: Former president Clinton sings "Take Me Out to the Ball Game."
8th Inning: Entire Hellraiser film series is played on the Jumbotron.
9th Inning: If the score is tied, the game is decided by a round of seven minutes in heaven.
