Wrigley Field
Opened in 1914, Wrigley is one of the oldest active MLB parks. Game days take over the neighbourhood; on non-game days, official ballpark tours cover the dugout, press box and ivy when the schedule allows.

The outfield walls and manual scoreboard are the park's signatures; bleacher seats have their own culture.
Guided tours (when offered) go places game tickets do not—check the Cubs' tour calendar.
Sports bars, rooftop decks on Sheffield and Waveland, and Red Line access at Addison.
Game tickets and tour tickets are separate. Buy through official Cubs / MLB channels. Tours cancel on day games and events. Confirm before you go.
Tours are a fallback or add-on; the atmosphere is about baseball and the neighbourhood.
Addison station drops you a block from the triangle. Driving and parking are painful on game days.
Independent rooftop clubs across from the park are a different ticket and experience from a seat inside Wrigley.
Can I tour on a game day?
Usually not. Tours run on non-game days and skip dates with events.
How do I get tickets?
Official Cubs and MLB outlets; beware of inflated resale on big rivalry games.
Is it cold at night games?
Lake wind makes spring and autumn nights chilly—bring a layer.
What about the rooftops?
Privately operated buildings across the street; separate from Wrigley tickets.
Wrigley Field opened as Weeghman Park in 1914 and has been the Cubs' home since 1916. Lights for night games arrived only in 1988, late among major-league parks.
The park is owned by the Ricketts family's entity and operated with Major League Baseball scheduling. Neighbourhood rooftops are a distinctive local viewing tradition.
