I didn't buy the Wrigleyville merch because I thought it was dumb and a little cringey TBH. Pretty much my least favorite aspect of Cubs games is having to deal with all the frat boys in the area around it (which, I'm surely biased by taking classes in that area during Cubs games but I'm sticking to this). The stadium is cool in an old-style way, I love that the L stops right outside of it, I even accept the "extra seating" on the roofs beyond right field (although I hear that the Cubs will be obscuring the view of those seats, which makes me laugh), but I am done with all those crappy sports bars and I sure as hell don't need them commemorated with a jersey.
