I was at the game! Having Stephen sing the 7th inning stretch topped off a fantastic day! Go Cubs! Go Democracy!!!

The scoreboard guy that's where Chicago was all about he's a wonderful representative of our city. Good sense of humor, hard-working tighty whities.

This was really a very good tribute to a very great city. I love it! Stephen should come back to Chicago more often. We need him.

[MichaelSorensen-blec]

Keep doing what you're doing. Long live protectors of democracy and decency.

Crying over here….real tears! Grew up in Lakeview, just a couple blocks from Wrigley Field. Thanks Stephen for reminding me what a great city Chi Town is! ❤

This really showed a great spirit of the city and its people. I ride my bike past Wrigley every morning heading to work, and it is right in the middle of a regular neighborhood. There are houses and apartments right next to the park. Love this city.

OMG, please Stephen, if you're gonna do eats, you NEED to head over to Manny's Deli for the BEST corned beef sammiches in Chicago since 1942. They had such a tough time during the pandemic and need the love. Now live in Melbourne, Australia and one of my ultimate memories of Chicago was this wee bit of heaven.

"The CBS lawyers wouldn't let me give you alcohol and that's why television is dying" 🤣That killed me and then Stephen dropped his drawers

I went to Roosevelt University in downtown Chicago, which is adjacent to the Auditorium Theater where Steven is doing this show. There was a high floor in our dorm, which we found out went right through to one of the higher levels of the Auditorium Theater. We used to get dressed up and walk confidently into the theater and watch some fantastic performers, like The Band, Beverly Sills, various ballets, symphonies, etc. It was great! Also loved the fantastic Chicago museums like the Art Institute, the Museum of Contemporary Art, the Natural History Museum, , and more. Also enjoyed the great blues culture, Oldtown, the El train, Lake Shore Drive, and much more. It’s a fabulous city!
