Cubs tix. Day or night game?

[ripvdub]

I'm headed to Chicago in July and am going to Wrigley for the 1st time since I was about 10 years old. What do you guys prefer, day or night games? Im just curious if the atmosphere is better at day games, or vice versa. Good wrigleyville bars to go to before or after?
Also, any section advice on where to sit? Its stubhub the best place to buy tix? TIA

Stubhub will grossly overcharge you (based on face value) but it is still the best place to get tickets.

My advise? Do both. Find the tail end of a home stand in which they are leaving town. They almost always play a day game on "getaway day". Go to the night game the night before, do the afternoon game the day they leave, and head home. Bleechers all the way.

Good bars are hard to miss. Most of my friend prefer the Cubby Bear, though personally I love Murphys which is right behind the bleechers.

Odd thing to note, beer is actually cheaper INDISDE Wrigley than it is in the bars around it. Get to the bar a few hours before they open the gates and get started, then enter Wrigley as soon as you can and drink beer while you take in BP from the bleechers.

If I had to pick one I would go to the day game, but that's just me.
