That's kind of how I felt at the game last night.
A new entrance on the west side made getting out a snap. The Cubs office building has stores and restaurants and the humongous video board for people to watch while sitting in the plaza.
And the plaza? Filled with kids playing and people enjoying the outdoors.
Across the street is the new hotel, finally showing form. On Addison, across from the park, is another project, not Cub family related, that will add more housing and parking.
Wrigley will look like it is boxed in.
Inside the park looks a little strange with the bullpens gone. Looked like new brick along the field.
It's a long way from August 1988 when lights went on.
It's a great place to watch a game. And a great time to be a Cub fan.
Here are some random pictures....including the give away from last night.

| South section of plaza |

| North park of plaza and Cubs offices. Stairway is part of the new western entrance. |

| Hard to tell there were bullpens out there! |
 |
| This was the give away...but wait! |
 |
| It lights up!!! This is supposed to be the left field video board. Jackie won't let me put it on the mantle to proudly display. Go figure. |
