    Got my spring training tickets.  Hooray, spring training split squad game!  Get to watch a bunch of players with only numbers on their backs play a game against guys with only numbers on their backs....and will probably never see any of them play professionally ever again.  
    That said, i still love spring training games.

    spring training is great, but fuck, it got expensive. it used to be like 10 bucks and sit wherever you want.

    Yup.  Been living in the Phoenix area for around 18 years now.  When I first started going to spring games, we'd sit in the outfield lawn and tickets were like you said...$10.  Ticket, a couple of beers and some food and you'd walk away spending maybe $30-40.
    Oh, the good ol days!
    I'll be lucky to walk away this year for less than $150

    Still haven't decided whether to spend the $20 a month for the Cubs TV app this year. Or save the $20 a month and not give a fuck about the Cubs.

    Watching Wrigley games on TV has always been fun for me. It was more fun back when they were all day games.
