An aging version of the Police played at Wrigley Field over the July 4th weekend. The place was packed with middle aged fans screaming like girls every time a favorite tune was performed. This was the first concert I had seen at Wrigley and found it had both positives and negatives.
On the positive side, the outdoor venue in the heart of the North Side really added to the experience, and the weather that night was great. On the negative side, the distance from the bleachers to the stage was rather enormous and had it not been for the several jumbo-trons, there was not much to see other than an amazing variety of fans.
The Red Line runs a few blocks from my home and drops you off at the doorsteps of Wrigley, making the transportation issue a breeze, though the train ride home was packed.
A friend of mine is a die-hard Police fan, so attending this concert was her idea. She certainly had a good time and I enjoyed the experience, but I doubt I'll bother to see many more 80s band / reunion tours in the near future.
