Just wondering who lives around the area and is excited to FINALLY have the Cubbies in town....I was born and raised in Chicago and always went to Wrigley, but this is the first time they are playing at the Trop...Anyone else here going. I have tickets with a Chicago style resteraunt out of Bradenton..(kinda like a party bus sort of thing), for the game tommorow and get to see Kaz go up against Dempster

I hope its like when the Sox or the Yanks are playing here and that there is more Cubs fans than Rays fans

Yeah it is pretty crazy we went to a Red Sox/Devil Rays game at the Trop last year and I swear for every 1 Rays fan there were 4 Red Sox fans. When Youk came up it seemed as though the entire stadium was yelling YOOOOOOUUUUUUKKKKKK!

Here are some pictures I took during batting practice.

Red Sox Dug Out


Devil Rays Dug Out

That hasn't been happening this year. Rays fans are actually filling the Trop, it's been a welcome change.

Yes it is nice that my adopted home town team is finally spending money and keeping there star players, and they are great at developing young players....its going to be an exciting series
