How would you prefer doing a 2010 Desipio Group Outing?

Wrigley Field Suite Rental (2009 price: $165/head)
Bus rental/group buy in Milwaukee (Cubs dates suck)
Bus ride/group buy in St. Loo (long bus ride, surrounded by Greatest Fans In Baseball)
Rooftop (any place but Brixen Ivy)
Pick a date, everyone scrounges bleacher tickets
Something other than going to a game
Fuck it.

Aren't rooftops nearly $165/person?  If so, that makes anyone picking a rooftop over a suite a big old PANK.

rooftop will probably run about $125-150/head, with food & beer included.

Plus, not even the management at Brixen Ivy are as tightassed as the Cubs.

I might be able to get a deal on a package for the Wrigley Done Right rooftop.  I'm not sure if it would be much cheaper than $125, but I've been up there a few times and never had a problem.  Plus, they make good dogs and burgers.

Voted Milwaukee, but I'd probably be up for any of the options. Except for the ones that don't suck and don't involve Wheezer's presence.

Giving the Cubs our money sounds awesome. They've given us so much in return.

I'm going to go with rooftop.

I've been in the suites several times before and we'd get tossed by the middle of the 6th.

Bleachers would be a clusterfuck unless we all got there early and at the same time.
Also consider that there are a number of us (including myself) that would end up killing some Chad dipshit.

St. Louis? 5 hour bus ride down, 4 hours minimum at the park, 5 hour bus ride back.
Do you realize how much hugging Kerm will manage in that time span?

I know a manager up there.  I probably couldn't do anything about any sort of deal, but I can be assured that we wouldn't get kicked out.  Let me chat with her and see what she can do.

Also, as for bleachers, I think we can totally work it out where we'd all get there pretty early.  It ain't that tough.

Bus ride to St Louis?  Fuck that.

I don't see anything that could possibly be shady about this.

Since no one likes spending money, how about this option?  We pick a nice, warm Saturday afternoon game in June, and totally take over one of the bars down there.  I call dibs on sitting next to flannj.

If we take over a bar, does it have to be in Wrigleyville? Why not find someplace with parking, where maybe we can get some games of cornhole going before/after the Cubs play?

Or we go to Burke's Web Pub on Leavitt.

I say we go to Mullen's at I-88 and Naperville Road. 

Assuming they're open.
