About Wrigley Field
Wrigley Field is located on the North Side of Chicago, specifically in Wrigleyville’s Lakeview enclave. The field first opened in 1914—with the Chicago Cubs playing their first home game there in 1916—making it the second-oldest MLB field after Boston’s Fenway Park. Wrigley Field is distinguished by its outfield wall covered in ivy, manually operated scoreboard, and its location in a primarily residential neighborhood.
Fun fact: Lucky (and enterprising) neighbors of Wrigley Field have built bleachers on their roofs for prime bird’s-eye views of Cubs games, with some charging fees for admission.
Things to Do at Wrigley Field
The Chicago Bears call Wrigley Field home, playing games for loyal fans during the MLB season, which lasts from early spring through mid-autumn. Wrigley Field began hosting summer concerts in 2005 to the dismay of worried neighbors but to the delight of Chicagoans at large. Billy Joel, Pearl Jam, and Lady Gaga are only a few artists who have performed at Wrigley Field over the past few years.
