5 People You are Guaranteed to Meet at Wrigley Field

Jump to Comments

We here at Roman Is Burning are no doubt die hard Chicago Cubs fans. (Waiting…waiting…waiting) Okay, now that your laughter has subsided we can move on.  The thing about our Cubs Fan Card is that we hate 95% of all other Cub fans.  Our hatred stems from going to enough games to know that most people at the game are not paying attention and are just there to drink.  It’s not that we have a problem with tipping a few back from time to time it is the fact that all that crap makes it hard for real fans to enjoy the game.  There are several other things that bother us about Cub fans but we wont get into that now, however what we will get into is the 5 People You are Guaranteed to Meet at Wrigley Field.
