For the first time this season, the Chicago Sky is playing home games at Allstate Arena – a drastic change in venue from the UIC Pavilion where they have played the past four seasons. In my opinion, the UIC Pavilion is a much better venue given its location near Little Italy neighborhood – a good excuse to combine a game with dinner for the Ultimate Sports Wife. Because of their move, I figured I would not attend any Sky games this season. But, that all changed when I started working …

On Mother’s Day, the Ultimate Sports Wife gave birth to our first child. Today, Dylan (aka Ultimate Sports Baby) attended his fourth Cubs game to celebrate Father’s Day.
Bringing the Ultimate Sports Baby
Since we were with the Ultimate Sports Baby we sat in Row 1 of Section 504 – way down the left field line. One good way to bring an infant to a sporting event is to leave him in his infant car seat. That way you can carry the car seat into the ballpark and not have to take …

Anaheim Angels at Chicago Cubs
The Angels took advantage of consecutive errors in the 7th inning by Jeff Baker to take a 6-2 lead which they later added …

It was bobblehead day at Wrigley Field. I am never one to enter the ballpark early to receive a promotional giveaway. But my friend, Kelly McMahon, is one. The Ultimate Sports Wife and I were planning to attend the game on our season tickets. That was until Kelly wrote me stating that she would gladly give me her two tickets for the game if I went in early and got her a bobblehead.
