Just printed the ticket. Very unusual to ever go back to a building or even recognize/remember them after the skin is on. Unless they were unusual for some reason. I did spend 2 years at Wrigley Field. Got a call on the radio at quitting time, everybody down to Wrigley to hang nets due to concrete falling. Worked until 2am and the Cubs played (not that I particularly cared about that part). Stayed for 2 years. During season 3 of us worked during road trips and then stuck the equipment in a room when the Cubs were home. What a mess that place is. Welding 100 year old steel that's been sitting out in the rain. Weights measured in klicks (or some such) when we had to shore the sucker up to replace sections of support columns in the off season. It was kind of fun. Got a few balls. Jon uses them, he has no respect. No free tickets, the Tribune company is/was cheap (and poorly run). The thing that surprised me most about that place was the crappy little urinal the players use during the game, a little hollow in the tunnel behind the dug out. ARS
