Brewers Game in Chicago

Recently I had the opportunity to attend a Brewers game against the Chicago Cubs in Chicago. This event was sponsored by the Marian University Alumni Association. We left early in the morning to take a bus down to Chicago from Fond du Lac. I was super tired but I was excited to watch a game and meet former alumni. As we arrived in Chicago we went on a Brewery tour at Goose Island. For two hours we had unlimited amounts of drinks and food. During this time we were able to talk to each other and enjoy the beautiful weather. After the Brewery tour we headed down the street to Wrigley Field to watch the baseball game. Our seats were located in section 231 on the first base side. The match between these teams was pretty intense and each team played with their best skills. I had the chance to get on television when I sat behind the Cubs bench with some of my friends. The game was long and I thought the Brewers would win, but the Cubs came back to win the game. Overall I had a great time in Chicago and meeting former alumni. If you get a chance to visit Wrigley Field I recommend it because it is a historical site in Chicago. After a long day I called it a day and got some rest. I shall catch you soon in my next blog. Cheers, Lee IV

Soccer match in Chicago

The one thing I love about summer is the endless possibilities of things to do at the spare moment. For example, one of my friends posted on Facebook asking anybody if they wanted free tickets to watch a soccer match in Chicago at Wrigley Field. Within seconds I quickly responded and got four free tickets, and the only thing I had to purchase was the bus ticket from Milwaukee. I asked three of my friends to join me and they quickly responded as well. As we arrived in Chicago I was excited to watch one of my favorite Italian team AS Roma play against a Polish team Lublin. The city was filled with people dressed up in their team uniform and colors. Another remarkable thing about this event was this was the first soccer game at Wrigley Field, and I was able to witness a historical event. Once the game kicked off AS Roma scored within a minute, and they didn’t stop there. Throughout the match both teams played a tough match, but AS Roma played harder. I made sure since I was in Chicago I ate some of my favorite dishes such as the Italian beef sandwich, a real deep dish pizza, and a Chicago hot dog without ketchup. The second half of the match AS Roma still controlled the game and was able to shutout the Polish team 4-0. My friends and I were glad we had the chance to watch an awesome match and be in Chicago. After the game we walked around the city before heading back to Wisconsin. It was a fun day trip, and I am looking forward for more random days of summer.
