Depending on what happens with the rest of the National Leauge, the Dodgers might find themselves in the friendly confines of Wrigley Field during the first or second rounds of the playoffs.

Although Chavez Ravine is a beautiful ball park, how does anywhere compare to a game at Wrigley, especially during this season where the Cubs are trying to break their 100-year curse?

All the playoff tickets are sold out, but thanks to StubHub one can still get them electronically, though ticket prices are ranging from $250 to $3,500 with the top prices going for the box seats practically right on the field.

But when at Wrigley why would anyone want to sit anywhere else but the bleachers? Seats in section 301 of the left field bleachers (a prime home run catching area) are topping out at $965 per ticket. These are seats that normally go between $22 and $45 a game. One benefit that Wrigley has over Dodger Stadium is the Cub beer vendors come right to you (or to 95% of the seats anyway) and pour a beverage so you dont miss an instant of the game.

But for the playoffs, at over $100 an inning for such seats (which aren’t even seats since its simply a portion of a bleacher plank), those Old Styles better be delicious.
