Opening in 1914 Wrigley Field has seen over 100 years of baseball history, but not one World Series title. The Cubs are currently completing year 2 of a 4 year renovation project to upgrade Wrigley and ensure the viability of the ballpark for future generations of baseball fans, while preserving historic features, like the Ivy covered OF wall and manual CF scoreboard, fans have come to know. Travel to Wrigley via the Red Line and enjoy the atmosphere of Wrigleyville before heading in to the Grandstand or Bleachers. Attendees are segregated so if you are someone who wants to see all the Friendly Confines has to offer plan on attending 2 games.

Wrigley Field
May 26, 2003: Chicago, Illinois
The second leg of the Windy City Ballpark Tour took place on Memorial Day and was a day I will never forget. Wrigley Field, home of the Chicago Cubs, is one of the two crown jewels left in Major League Baseball (Fenway Park being the other). Until recently, Wrigley Field was like no other modern-day ballpark; there was no advertising on the playing field, or video scoreboard in the outfield. Spending a day (you have to attend a day game!) in the Friendly Confines bleachers (you have to sit in the bleachers!) was like taking a baseball time machine back to when it was just a game.
