One look at the map of Wrigley Field and baseball fans are transported to the time of year when you can smell fresh grass, hear the yelling of fans and the sound of a baseball bat knocking the ball into deep left field and over the wall.

Wrigley Field in Chicago is located in the heart of a Chicago neighborhood so closely packed that people can sit on nearby roofs and watch the games. Since 1916, this legendary venue has been hosting some of baseball's greatest teams.

The park only cost $250,000 to build in 1914, about as much as some MLB players make for a single game today. Wrigley Field seating accommodates 41,000 fans with additional standing room for 1,374.

The field was designed by Zachary Taylor Davis, who only 4 years earlier had designed Comiskey Park for the Chicago White Sox.

Over the last century, Wrigley Field tickets have borne the names of many teams: The Chicago Whales, The Chicago Bears and, of course, the Chicago Cubs. Ernie Banks nicknamed the field, “The Friendly Confines,” a name that stuck and exactly the way Cubs fans feel about this old familiar home.
