Re: MLB Ballpark Roadtrips
My friends and I went to Wrigley last summer. Had a blast. But keep in mind that my comments are based on just this single experience, a Saturday afternoon game.
We bought scalper tickets, and didn't have a problem. There were a lot of tickets available. It was against the Brewers, so not necessarily a huge draw, although the game certainly drew fans down from Wisconsin.
We sat up in the 400's and the seats were fine. We actually got for face value, which was about $45 I recall. Not familiar with the 500 seats, but I expect you'd be in the same deck as us, just further back from the rail (probably above the tunnels for that deck). I'd go lower if I were you. We were in the first row of the 400 deck, and that was fine, but I wouldn't have wanted to be further up.
Parking is terrible. We lucked into a spot a few blocks from Wrigley. Basically it was the driveway of a business that was closed, and they were selling spots for $25/car.
I think I'd skip the rooftop, at least if this is your first game. I think it's worth it to go into Wrigley itself.
Stay for the after party. A lot of bars in the neighborhood that are fun to hang out in!
