Day 127—Iowa Cubs


It was a super long drive from Toledo to Des Moines overnight, and the Tour for the Cure team made it just in time for the noon Cubs game. The Cubs play their games at Principal Park, which in its current state has been around for about 15 years. It was previously known as Pioneer Memorial Stadium, built in 1947. In the late 1980s the stadium was on its last legs, with wooden seats and bleachers splintering and the paint wearing off. Most of the ballpark was demolished after the 1991 season, and was then rebuilt for the 1992 season—which is its current configuration. The game the previous night had been rained out, so there was actually two games today, both 7 innings long. Thanks to Kenny for getting us a nice Cubs jersey to raffle off today!
