    Want to see the Red's play in person in 2020?

    Not as impossible as you may have thought, but it'll cost you...and you'll have to drive to Chicago

    I think if you get in just the right spot on I-70 in KC, you can kinda sorta make out part of the field inside Kaufman Stadium. So that's my plan for this year.

    And if you're lucky, you'll be able to see almost 25% of the field from the rooftops.

    I saw the rooftops at Wrigley are selling tickets!

    I checked out the views..those are some awful views with jacked up prices (with city taxes its $400-$500). I've been to Wrigley field and you can get some very nice views in their upper deck especially along the baselines.

    BTW this site is a much better site with 360 views and seats for all the buildings in the area. Although they aren't selling yet it seems.

    Fair warning. Very few rooftops give you much of a view of the field with the new videoboards at Wrigley. Most rooftops I've been on in the last few years give you about a quarter of the field. If you want to watch what actually happens, you need to watch from the screens in the rooftop venue. It still gives you the smells and sounds of the ballpark though!

    I'd like to go to one of the apartments/rooftops about thirty years ago for a game. Seems like something pretty cool that the Cubs and the building owners have worked cooperatively to make suck.

    It's still a cool experience, just don't do a rooftop if you actually want to watch the game. You still get all the baseball smells and sounds, but they are built now for the people who want to party and soak up sunshine. They were way more fun when you could see the game and the Ricketts family hadn't sucked so much character out of the blocks around the stadium.
