Wrigley Field
Chicago baseball venue
Wrigley Field is the baseball stadium in Chicago where the Cubs play, one of the oldest ballparks in Major League Baseball.
Its ivy-covered outfield walls and manually operated scoreboard make it a landmark of the sport.
The name comes from the Wrigley chewing gum family, who owned the team for decades.
We caught a game at Wrigley Field last summer.
