Highlights
Wrigley Field

Nicknamed "the Friendly Confines," Wrigley Field has been home to the Cubs since 1916.

When the Whales folded and the Cubs moved in, it was known as Cubs Park. In 1926, it was renamed Wrigley Field after William Wrigley, who was owner of both the Cubs and the chewing gum company that bears his name. Located at the corner of Clark and Addison Streets on the North Side, it is surrounded by the neighborhood that eventually became known as Wrigleyville. It was the last major league ballpark to install lights, on Aug. 8, 1988, and is the second oldest ballpark...  Show more »

It was the last major league ballpark to install lights, on Aug. 8, 1988, and is the second oldest ballpark in the majors behind Boston's Fenway Park, which was built in 1912. Wrigley's most distinctive features include its ivy-covered outfield walls. It last hosted a World Series in 1945.  « Show less
