“I don’t care,” said Diane Chaney, who has lived on the 3700 block of Sheridan Avenue Wrigley for nearly seven years. “We knew going into this that we’re going to have noise when we move here. Anybody who moves here and thinks it’s going to be a nice, quiet place is delusional.”
Neil Barron, a Cubs season ticket holder who lives in an apartment on the 3700 block of Wilton Avenue, said the occasional late night comes with the territory.
“The stadium was here first,” Barron said. “I chose to be here.”
On Thursday night, Barron pulled up a chair and sat on his front lawn to listen to the Mumford show. That’s one of the perks of living so close to the stadium, he said.
Jarrett Prizel, who moved into the neighborhood less than a week ago, said he barely noticed the concert itself from his apartment at 3800 Grace Street and only heard some of the fireworks.
“If you move into an area like this, you kind of know what you’re getting yourself into,” Prizel said. “Last night was a little bit different because of the rain, but that’s just part of it.”
