Winter Classic 2009 - Post Event Report

My first event of the year is in the books...
The NHL's Winter Classic in Chicago at Wrigley Field.


Tuesday Night, things are pretty close to being ready...but something is missing...


Bring on the Snowmakers...


So this is what we found on Wednesday morning... A Winter (Classic) Wonderland!

Here's some trivia...
You know all those seats on the tops of the buildings around the friendly confines of Wrigley Field?

This place behind the left field wall called Beyond The Ivy is selling tickets...


...for $400 each. Yikes.


I mean, for 400 bucks, I better get a helluva good view.
And it better not be blocked by a video wall...

And for all the kind folks who asked about where I was posted for this event...
I was not out in the cold, or down by the ice.

See the doorway behind the railing? That's where I live...

And where is this location in the realm of the Big Picture?

Way up there above the marquee.
Everybody takes pictures of this view of the Stadium...

This one is for Sean at the HelpDesk:
The view from above the marquee of...

...The Cubby Bear. And no, we never made it over there.

And no NHL Event Report is complete without a picture of the Off-Ice Officials hard at work during the game.

The Crew from the United Center pointing and clicking...

Well... Detroit won the game, but Wrigley was the star of the show...

Onward, to Montreal.
