Wrigley Merch - Where to Stash?

edited March 2013 in The Porch
Not having been to Wrigley (or even Chicago for that matter), how do you handle your purchased merch?
I can't see that I would be hauling posters, tshirts & whatever else to my area then having to keep up with it.
Do the tables open early enough before the show so you can stash it back at the hotel? Are there lockers?
Just curious because I know I'll be dropping some bucks for that show's goods! Thanks for any advice!

    Pretty sure the Cubs will let us use their locker room.

    But really, I'm hoping for a poster Pre-sale. Otherwise I'm not buying anything.

    I'm going to carry a backpack for all the merch I buy. I will buy the artist edition of the poster later.

    Just put your merch in the troughs located in the Wrigley men's rooms. Nobody will touch it.....guaranteed.

    I am really hoping that they bring the poster pre-sale back. No need to carry a tube around for the entire show and no worries if it rains.

    Please sign the petition to help bring it back.

    Whether you love em or hate em, I suggest Cargo shorts for this one. I think I fit 3 shirts in the pockets at an 09 Chicago show.

    i'll be there with my truck running a storage service. $25 will get you a poster tube safely stored for the show.

    Perfect. How much did you say it was? $25?

    Sweet. That's cheaper than a ticket for my newborn. Can you leave the window open a crack?

    I've put posters in my sleeves and pant legs. I carry a jacket and use it as a kangaroo pouch.
    My merch is kept on me! Screw going back to a hotel. If the venue says I can't have a purse? I say I have a medical condition and I need my bag. This works 10 out of 10 times. Even if I say I need the bag for my inhaler... :lol::lol: or I have really bad migraines and I need this advil. :lol::lol:

    Some ask "How did you get a purse in here?"

    I say "shut your mouth".

    Wrigley will be my first PJ show, so I know nothing about obtaining merch (when do gates open, etc.). UPS and Fedex both have stores 1/2 mile from Wrigley, and both stores are open until 7PM on Fridays. Any experienced fans know if it sounds feasible to get there early, get my stuff, and make it to UPS/Fedex, then back to Wrigley on time?

    I haven't been to wrigley.. But does anyone know if it would be possible to send my wife in to buy merch while I remain outside of the stadium (drinking) and then have her pass the merch through the fence so i can go stash it?

    I dreamt this.. amongst other things I wont share right now..
    None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe that they are free.

    WTF?

    You are going to Pearl Jam????!!!

    How does a post office matter? Buy all your merch First thing....
    Then find a comfortable spot. If they let you go to the post office after you buy merch... I hate to be mean but I would be glad if they didn't let you back in.
