What people say, in short
Several visitors praise the game-day atmosphere at Wrigley Field, and several say the bleachers are enjoyable even for people who don't follow baseball. A couple of visitors suggest the stadium tour for non-sports fans, since it covers architecture and history, and a couple suggest walking the grounds between innings for different sightlines. A couple of visitors mention a first-visit keepsake certificate at the gate. Caveats: two visitors say the ballpark feels much colder than elsewhere in town, even in summer, one suggests walking away after the game to avoid the crowds, and a couple of visitors who aren't into baseball found a full game dull.
