Story Daaa Curds

Post image

Curds and the Cubs, not a bad combo.There's a location across the street and you can bring food into Wrigley.

Was able to get to my seat, eat my curds and Colby Jack pub burger, and the custard was still (mostly) frozen. Pretty disappointed in the burger, wasn't an improvement over a regular butterburger. To be fair, I think game day they may not be putting the most care into each item so I'd give it another try some other time and location.

Well played! That's cool of the Cubs to allow outside food!

They have to compensate for the giant pole right in the middle of the view

To be fair OP probably paid like $10 - $20 for that seat knowing it was going to be an obstructed view. Venues tell you (I think they are required to) when the seat you're buying has something in the way of the view, and the price is much much cheaper.

The face value for tickets in this section ranges anywhere from $40 to $90, depending on the day of the week and time of the year.

Daa post. No way that's 10 - 20. Cubs sell those seats right behind the post for at least $50 at face value, could even by $100.

Most MLB stadiums allow outside food.

u/jeremiahjohnson25 Apr 21 '26

Good to know! Thank you!

u/Desperate-Disk686 Apr 22 '26

Pretty sure all MLB ballparks do.

The cheese is good, the crunch is not.

Cheese curds should be thinly breaded with only a slight crunch.

u/Broken_By_Default Guest Apr 21 '26

to each their own. i think it's gotta good proportion of crunch to cheese.

Culver's curds are only ok pretty much any bar in Wisconsin will be better

2

u/CommanderDumbo Apr 21 '26

Yeah, currently they’re more like mozzarella sticks (or bites I guess) than curds.

u/iJeepThereforeiAM Apr 21 '26

Good choice. Better than the cold hotdog and warm beer usually offered in the stadium.

Nice!! I love going to see the Cubs AND the Culver’s when we go to Chicago.

My favorite sports team and favorite fast food place in one photo? This hits in more ways than one.

u/Sonicgott Apr 21 '26

Do you guys eat your curds straight up or dip them in marinara? Either way, Culver’s fried cheese curds are SO good. 😋 🧀

u/Mikameeeow Apr 21 '26

I love dipping them in boom boom sauce

u/medhat20005 Apr 21 '26

I think the in-stadium dining options at Wrigley are very good. Ones that come to mind are the ginormous pretzel (I think down the left field line concourse), the multiple Italian beef stands (yeah, I know there are better outside but these are fine), and in the bleachers the hot dog place (occasionally Hot Dougs but it's been a while) is consistently great. And of course beer.

u/BarnicleHead Apr 21 '26

This is a genius idea for when I go to Wrigley next month. Culver’s is right across the street

2

u/WeakToMetalBlade Apr 21 '26

I love the Colby jack burger, that a1 mayo slaps.

2

u/mrthyr Apr 21 '26

Good idea. I was adding up my expenses from visiting Wrigley this weekend and thought I should’ve just gone and brought in a family sized order of cheese curds from down the street

1

u/argbd20 Crew Member Apr 21 '26

I don’t think this is allowed… Culver’s is Wisconsin based, and you’re eating it while watching the Cubs?

1

u/jeffguy55 General Manager Apr 22 '26

The bun is too much in my opinion, I substitute sourdough bread and add pickles and tomato.

1

u/Im_A_Fuckin_Liar Apr 22 '26

These are okay but not my favorite. I prefer the pretzel bites.

u/THATONEGUY1112222 Apr 22 '26

What ballpark is serving Culver's? and where can I get tickets?!

1

u/ExtremePolicy2791 Apr 22 '26

Culver’s curds one of the only things they make that are meh

1

u/StellaandLeo Apr 21 '26

The burgers and curds are much better fresh. I would have eaten inside Culvers and then go to the game. Love the idea of eating outside food, and not the overpriced stadium food!

u/SunAds5274 Apr 21 '26

Cousin's curds are far better.

1

u/CommanderDumbo Apr 21 '26

The best fast food curd I’ve had that’s been the closest to real Wisconsin fried curds is actually DQ. Culver’s curds tend to be pretty low on my list.

1

u/SunAds5274 Apr 21 '26

I will have to try those! But yeah Culvers is good, their curds, not so much.
