Famous for its swirling lake winds, which can swing the ball 50+ feet on any given day.

What makes it iconic

  • Ivy-covered outfield walls — planted by Bill Veeck in 1937. A ground-rule double if a ball gets stuck.
  • Hand-operated center field scoreboard, in continuous use since 1937.
  • Rooftop bleachers on Waveland and Sheffield Avenues — neighbors built decks over the decades, now licensed by the Cubs.
  • Second-oldest active MLB park (after Fenway). Built as Weeghman Park for the Federal League's Chicago Whales.

Notable moments

  • Babe Ruth's 'Called Shot' in Game 3 of the 1932 World Series — pointing to center before homering off Charlie Root.
  • Cubs win Game 5 of the 2016 World Series here, on the way to ending a 108-year championship drought.
  • Kerry Wood's 20-strikeout one-hitter on May 6, 1998 — at age 20, in just his fifth MLB start.
  • The Sammy Sosa-Mark McGwire home run race of 1998.

Timeline

  1. 1914

    Weeghman Park opens

    Built for the Federal League Chicago Whales. The Cubs took it over in 1916 and renamed it Cubs Park, then Wrigley Field in 1927 after chewing-gum mogul William Wrigley Jr.

  2. 1937

    Ivy and the scoreboard

    Bill Veeck planted bittersweet and Boston ivy on the outfield walls. The hand-operated center field scoreboard went up the same year — both still in use.

  3. 1945

    The Curse of the Billy Goat

    After being asked to leave Game 4 of the World Series with his pet goat, tavern owner Billy Sianis allegedly cursed the Cubs. They lost the Series and didn't return for 71 years.

  4. 1988

    Lights, finally

    Wrigley became the last MLB park to install lights, ending a 74-year run of day baseball only. The first night game on August 8 was rained out in the fourth inning.

  5. 2003

    The Bartman game

    Game 6 of the NLCS. Five outs from the World Series, fan Steve Bartman deflected a foul ball, the Cubs collapsed, and Florida won. The Cubs lost Game 7 the next night.

  6. 2016

    108-year drought broken

    The Cubs won their first World Series since 1908, beating Cleveland in seven games. Wrigley hosted Games 3, 4, and 5 — including the first home World Series game since 1945.
