Most parks were like that before the pandemic. Its a silly boring game, sports fans are as brain dead are you can get, and this is coming from a guy who tattooed the seattle seahawks on his body, I know first hand.
I’ve been to a few Cubs game when I lived in Chicago and never made it through an entire game at the stadium.
It’s insanely run down and uncomfortable. The seats are uncomfortable to
sit in and the restrooms are some 3rd world shithole design.
Their “kitchens” and food options are garbage as well. I had a strong income so the pricing wasn’t unaffordable, but at $15/beer it was obnoxious as hell.
Usually Id go With a date during a weekday we took off in summers. Sit through to third or fourth inning (where I’ve now spent over $150 easily) then go to a local bar to eat better food and drink cheaper while we watched on tv.
If you’ve never been to wrigley the history will be fun for you. But after the first time you realize it’s all a scam. People say it’s cool to fit in, it’s honestly a decrepit money pit that fleeces fans very badly
You’ll have a blast your first time, definitely do it once if you’re able. Just take some extra cash and plan to spend more on things bc of the location.

I believe you but I'd still like to go there once since I haven't been.
I did go to a spring training game at Sloan Park in February, and it's very nice (except the pricy beer).

Dude baseball looks boring, but going to a game is not. It's 180 minutes of boredom punctuated by crowd-raving moments of excitement.
And beer. And hotdogs.
