Winter Classic Success! (pictures from Wrigley)

Hi everyone,

I am finally back and thawed out from being out at Wrigley all day.  I did not have a ticket, but just being a part of the atmosphere was pretty awesome.  I enjoyed the heckling, the new look for Wrigley Field… it was a really great experience.

Here are a few pictures of Wrigley Field, all dressed up and ready for the hockey game.

So it is unfortunate that the Hawks lost, but I think the experience itself far outweighs the result of the game.  I must admit that standing out there for the National Anthem was quite awesome.

The crowd was deafening and the flyover was pretty awesome also.  I was kind of disappointed when I watched the replay of it on youtube… it sounds so quiet and calm, but you could hardly hear the guy singing… you didn’t even know it was over until the planes flew over.

Overall, quite the event to be at.  I can’t believe that it is over!
