Wrigley or Ohana for a Birthday trip?

It's my 45th Birthday this August and my wife has offered up tickets and stay for Wrigley and a suite at The Drake or Eddie at Ohana VIP .
I love the coast , Mudhoney and a good lua but I've always wanted to visit Chicago museums. Both will cost the same so that's a non factor . I can't decide as it's literally spitting the baby down the middle . If anyone living in the areas and has a pro or con to contribute I'd love some guidance as I just can't decide .

    don't live in Chicago though IMO you should go with Wrigley hands down, given your desire to see the Chicago museums is icing on your bday cake..... seeing Ed solo is on my bucket list though there is no way I would choose ANY music festival over a stand alone Pearl Jam show, especially at Wrigley Field ... I was there in 2013, other than the storm delay it was a blast ... so much so that I couldn't decide on which night this year at Wrigley so we are going to both.. hope this helps and hope you have a great 45th birthday whichever way you decide.

    Wrigley. No offense to Ed, but I will pick seeing Pearl Jam over Ed solo any day of the week. And I would definitely pick seeing Pearl Jam at Wrigley over Ed solo at a festival. Wrigley is near and dear to Ed and he is so happy just to be there.

    I hope your wife is offering both nights at Wrigley, not just one!

    Definitely Wrigley. Summer in Chicago is the best. And the museums are fantastic.

    So very thoughtful of your wife! Wrigley 1 will be my birthday show. (Wrigley 2 is the day before, but we kind of have to work to make money to go to the shows.) I vote Wrigley! Family has lived in Wrigleyville/Roscoe Village. I've hung out there a bit over the years. Always had a great time!

    Both events will be special but really it comes down to Eddie in his special place with his band vs Eddie and Jack on the beach. I'd take the prior also.
