re: What is better and more coveted: Wrigley Field or Fenway Park?

Pretty good analogy. I went to a Red Sox/yankees game at Fenway and thought it was like a college football game. Fans were into every pitch and saw several fights in the stands. A+ experience. Wrigley was cool too, but in a relaxing kind of way.

I have been to both multiple times. Have had seats behind home plate and in the outfield (bleachers at Wrigley) for both. Two day games at Wrigley, day game and night game (vs Yankees) at Fenway.

They are both old and charming parks, but Wrigley was the better overall experience . There really is nothing like a day game at Wrigley.

Wrigleyville is also much better than the experience around Fenway. As crazy as the scene is around Wrigleyville pregame, there is just as big of a party happening in the bleachers way before the game starts. It's like stepping into another bar.

But honestly, it's like asking which of your children do you love the most.

Both are pretty cool. Went to Fenway last weekend for the first time. It was like taking a step back into time.

I’ll give Wrigley the edge due to the Wrigleyville bar district around it.

For real.

Just some nobody from Louisiana spouting nonsense and has likely never left the region.

Wrigley by a mile. Fenway is a dump.

For the game experience, I prefer a day game at Wrigley. Sit in the bleachers at least one game if you go.

I am not a Cubs fan, but the Wrigley bleachers on a warm Friday afternoon in summer is baseball heaven. I did that a couple years ago, and plan to do it again.

The one thing I remember about the seats at Fenway behind the home plate area is that they were original, like from 1912, with 1912 sizes from when the average male was 5' 6". Freaking tight. Not sure if that has changed.

Wrigley seats were not like that and the bleachers are bleachers, just pack in tight and start drinking beer with 1,000 of new friends.

I've been to both, and when I went to Fenway for the first time, I sat behind the plate and the sun was setting and the cloud in the sky were pink. The Green Monster and whole outfield stands looked like a painting. I was blown away.

At Wrigley, I went to Chicago by myself on a whim and one day decided to go to a Cubs game. I was hanging out in Wrigleyville before a night game just pregaming before I bought my ticket. Some locals noticed I was alone, and we started talking, and then suddenly one of the group just says "We're gonna buy you a ticket, and you're sitting with us". I was pretty surprised. I sat in the bleachers with them and bought them beers throughout the game. They actually might've gotten the better end of the deal, but I didn't care. I like to reward generous people.

All that said, it's a tie for me.

I’ve been to both, enjoyed both, but if I could only go to one more MLB game in my life, it would be a sunny summer Saturday in Wrigley

First time to Wrigley was last year on a sunny Sunday in May vs the White Sox. Sat in the left field bleachers and had an awesome day with lots of new friends.

Went to my first Fenway game in August last year. Great timing too as it was a night game against the Pirates with Skenes pitching.

I feel like I liked Wrigley more for the whole experience but I absolutely lovwd the history of Fenway and did the tour which was excellent.

You can't go wrong either way.
