Hi Sox fans,

I'm one of those baseball nerds who has decided to make his pilgrimage across the country, and attempt to visit all 30 MLB parks.  This weekend has my travels taking me to Chicago, Milwaukee, and then back to Chicago, and I'll be at U.S. Cellular Field for the next Monday game against the Mariners.

I have a general idea what I'll be doing around town during my stay around Chicago, but I'd really love to ask you guys, if you have any other suggestions / ideas for food, sights,etc.  Furthermore, I'm curious if there are any ideas or things to know about U.S. Cellular; how early the gates open, any suggested view points, food tips, etc.

Apologies in advance if these types of questions have been answered many times from other nerds who have made their travels in the past, but I couldn't really find anything searching for "visiting," "traveling" or any other key words, so I pose my question, possibly, yet again.

Thanks in advance, and all ideas, suggestions, and clever remarks are appreciated!

If you guys are interested, I'll gladly return after my trip to post pictures and smarmy writing in review of your park and my experiences in town, a la the following links below:
