If you watched Sunday’s Chicago Bears NFL season opener, you know that it rained most of Sunday afternoon in Chicago — hard, in some areas, there was significant street flooding on parts of the North Side.
In the area around Wrigley Field (which avoided any flooding), the rain stopped right about the time the gates opened to the ballpark at 5 p.m. (There were a few annoying little sprinkles during the game, but not hard enough to hold up play.)
It might as well have kept raining, because the Cubs lost Sunday 4-2 to the Giants, ending their homestand with a losing 2-4 mark.
