Things to check out around Wrigley Field?

Wrigley Field is the home of the Chicago Cubs in Major League Baseball. It is an outdoor ballpark that has been used for baseball games since 1914, making it the second oldest of its kind in the USA. With its seating capacity of over 40,000, Wrigley Field is located in Chicago, about 8km from downtown. Wrigley Field has some unique and traditional features such as a hand-operated scoreboard, ivy-covered outfield walls and extra viewing platforms in the nearby neighbourhood rooftops.

Wrigley Field is open for tours year-round. I suggest getting to the game early and seeing if the guards or field crew will let you touch the ivy. This usually needs to happen 3-4 hours beforehand but its worth it.

The statues of former Cubs greats are the premier attractions on the outskirts of Wrigley. Statues of Billy Williams, Ernie Banks, Ron Santo, and Harry Caray can be found all around the ballpark and honor the legacies of some of the Cubs' most iconic figures. Pictures of the statues are allowed and encouraged so you can remember your Wrigley experience in a single frame!
