I can't stand Wrigley. Concrete that’s been soaked in beer and urine for more than 100 years just does nothing for me. I can’t stand Wrigley.

Wrigley's surrounding areas, Ivy covered walls and bleachers trump Busch Stadium, but all other seats, the scoreboard, concession, statues outside, retired numbers, parking, traffic and amenities all favor Busch. You did forget about one thing though. The Go Cubs Go song is annoying, but a fantastic tradition. The whole stadium stays and sings the song after a Cubs win, which is alternatively cool and terrible at the same time. I definitely agree with your assesment.

I might be inclined to compare the "why most folks are there factor" as well. Busch - most everyone is there to watch the game, cheer for the Cardinals. Wrigley - half are there to watch the game and cheer the Cubs, another quarter treat Wrigley like just another bar, and the final quarter are the see and be seen group (stilettos and mini-skirts in the bleachers? really ladies?). Pretty fair evaluations of both.
