    A few people talking about trying to arrange a trip to the States to see some games, I mentioned I'd be interested in one including Chicago and I received this.

    Sounded ok and then sounded very interesting at the end!



    Hi

    I don't know if you would be interested, but I have just been on the phone to Sports Travel Tours and they have said they can tickets to any games at Wrigley Field.

    I asked generally how much a week in Chicago would be taking in a few games. The estimate was £600-1000 per person.

    I have just emailed asking for price details and where the seats would be at Wrigley for (as an example)

    Possible visit dates: 13th August 2007-19th August 2007
    Games: 15th Vs Reds & 17th Vs Cardinals

    I don't know if you would prefer a road trip or just stay in Chicago. I am not an experienced traveller so a jaunt across the US might be too much for me right now.

    I don't know how you would feel about going on a baseball jaunt with a 23 year old female.

    Right now I am just making enquiries.

    Chris

    As the old saying goes

    If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!

    Yep, I realise that!

    Still, if a few of us can get this trip sorted it should be good.

    They were on strike the first time I was there!

    I thought about attempting to watch a game on my most recent visit to florida, but hurricane charlie turned up.

    I doubt Richard would want me to come along. We'd be doomed!

    RE: Off to USA in June,

    Pity about your timing. I live by the Ballpark and have season tickets. I keep about a third and sell the rest, but I've kept all 3 Yankees games. Could make some good money on them. I'm in Atlanta, Philadelphia and Toronto over the coming 2 weeks, and all 3 teams are away when I'm in town, so my timing is not better. If you like a good drop of ale, there's a great little brewpub close to the Ballpark on 2nd Street called The 21st Amendment. Give it a go. Chances are that if it's a day that ends in Y, I should be in there.
