 Wrigley Field tickets

Built in 1914, Wrigley Field has been the home of the infamous Chicago Cubs since 1916. Though the field has undergone a few name changes throughout the years including Weeghman Park from 1914-16 and Cubs Park between 1920-26, the name Wrigley Field has stuck since 1926 when it was renamed for the Cubs team owner and chewing gum bigwig William Wrigley Jr. Though the stadium is best known for hosting MLB baseball, between 1921 and 1970 the NFL team the Chicago Bears also called Wrigley home. The NFL made a more recent appearance at the field in 2009 when they hosted the second annual NFL Winter Classic. Wrigley Field is uniquely located in the middle of downtown Chicago between Clark and Addison Streets Waveland and Sheffield Avenues. Though it is located in the Lakeview neighborhood, the area immediately surrounding the field is filled with bars, restaurants and other businesses and is popularly called Wrigleyville.  Tickets are available anytime by clicking on the links.

With renovations over the years, the current capacity of Wrigley Field is just shy of 45,000 fans at one time, making the stadium the fourth-smallest actively used field in 2006.  Wrigley field tickets are sold out for years to come, and it's the oldest National League field.  It is also the second oldest active MLB ballpark and single remaining stadium remaining from the Federal League era. Its ivy covered brick outfield wall and hand turned scoreboard add to the ambiance of the field, making it a greatly intimate and timeless. The rich history has made Wrigley Field a popular place for Cubs fans and baseball enthusiasts from around the world to visit.

Wrigley Field is heavily mentioned in pop culture and has been featured in many successful movies including The Blues Brothers in 1980, Ferris Buellers Day Off in 1986 and 1993 film Rookie of the Year. Television series have also featured the famous stadium including E.R., Chicago Hope and Prison Break. Animated comedy programs Family Guy and The Simpsons have parodied the field, including the Steve Bartman incident and Homer Simpson poking fun at the White Sox field. In the late 2000s, band Nine Inch Nails created an audio skit that involved Wrigley Field being a terrorist target of a disillusioned war veteran. That didn't deter people from buying Wrigley field tickets. The Travel Channel featured Wrigley on the popular show Great Hotels starring Samantha Brown and her experience at the ballpark during her visit to Chicago. The History Channel also showed the popular venue on their program Life After People
