The first stadium on our list for 2015 is U.S. Cellular Field in Chicago.

Having been in Chicago last year, we decided to forgo some of the activities that we took part in last year. One thing we did want to check out were the new renovations at the Navy Pier. We found some cheap parking on the street ($4 per hour) and walked a couple of blocks to the pier.

Even with it being a Monday, the pier was filled with people shopping, going on boat rides, or simply taking a stroll up and down the walkway. Boat tours ran about $30 and lasted anywhere from 30 minutes to 1 1/2 hours. There is plenty of food choices on the pier and tons of places to go shopping — most of the stores inside the main building on the Navy Pier. The view from the pier is great, looking back at the city you can see skyline meet the lake.
