    At Fenway, you get hot pizza thrown at your face

    That pizza throwing incident is my all time favorite Jerry Remy moment.
    The boob grab where he is basically speechless for 2 minutes was pretty good.
    Gonna miss Orsillo with Remy.

    Boston is such a lovely city and so much of our country's history is there. It is very walkable, so you won't need a car, the public transportation is easy to navigate. I found Bostonians to be lovely people and very happy to help tourists. And it's Fenway!! The oldest ballpark in the country...c'mon how could you beat that?!?! Fenway all the way!!
    I lost a bet...

    Also, Wrigley is falling apart. There is netting around the park to keep concrete from falling on people's heads. And Wrigleyville is filled with a bunch of drunken frat bros. Really, for your own safety, you should choose Fenway.

    "The oldest ballpark in the country"

    I felt the need to point out the only truth in your comment.

    Not true. Mostly townies.

    At Fenway the drunks on one side of you will be Sully and Murph from Southie and on the other will be Murph and Sully from Charlestown. Southie Murph used to date Charlestown Sully's sister. You have been warned.

    Hey Boston, you guys are better in every single way and you know it so stop embarrassing yourselves. Quit while you're ahead.

    At Wrigley, a fan will grab the ball from you and ruin your shot at the World Series...

    Here's the thing though...... You Chicagoans are so great, you won't blame a hard working professional baseball player for committing an error on a sure fire inning-ending double play ball. Oh no, you guys were all like "Don't worry about it, Alex. Steve's got this one" & that dude took all the blame off that nice hard working professional athlete.

    Chicagoans literally know how to take one for the team.

    Ask Bill Buckner how we treat athletes in Boston who make one honest little mistake.

    Ed actually said he wanted to trade Jay Cutler for Aaron Rodgers.

    A. Green. Bay. Packer.

    That's just sad.

    Wrigley was special because of eddie... Fenway is just another concert in an old baseball stadium... I'm sure it's special for Red Sox fans and people of the area, but it doesn't get me excited so I can easily stay out of your guys way in the lotto

    Good luck to everyone

    I heard Fenway will just be a dress rehearsal for Wrigley. Eddie even plans on wearing a Cubs jersey and telling story's about playing the Metro and drinking Old Style.

    PJ clearly loves playing the east coast... Actually, they haven't played an arena show in Chicago since 2009. The only reason bands play Wrigley is because it's considered charity. They do it for charity.
