Wrigley Field is home to the Chicago Cubs. The stadium is the epicenter of the northside Wrigleyville neighborhood and attracts thousands of visitors every year coming for baseball games, concerts, and other events such as Chriskindlmarket.
Wrigley Field was built in 1914 and is known for being the second oldest baseball stadium in the United States. From starting the tradition of singing “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” to flying the W flag after a winning game, Wrigley’s historical significance makes it a must-visit for any sports fan.
