I would love to hop the train in Jackson and head up to Chi-Town for a weekend game with my son. I have not been to a game there since high school. Just worried about the safety aspect of it all.

Do it man. It will be an unforgettable experience. Probably safer than going to New Orleans.;)Quote:

I hate NOLA. I think he would get a kick out of the overnight train ride and going to Wrigley.Quote:

When I was young before Houston had a team the closest was St. Louis. Our recreational department sponsored a trip every year. I never made that trip but the first year for Houston I went. Sat outside in the "temporary' Colt Stadium. Three years later made the first year in the Dome. By all means go.
Do it. Just Do it.Quote:

I am life long Rangers fan but never had an experience at GlobeLife like We had there. Its a cathedral to the game and the fans are fantastic. All my boys fell in love with the Cards and the beg to go back.Quote:
