History
Main article: History of Wrigley Field
The park was built in six weeks in 1914 at a cost of about $ 250,000 ($ 5.3 million in 2008 dollars) by the Chicago dining magnate "Lucky Charlie" Weeghman, owner of the Federal League Dolphins. (The club signed a contract lease fifty-five years to use the park for the application $ 18,000 per year.) was designed by architect Zachary Taylor Davis (who four years Comiskey Park was designed by the Chicago White Sox), which incorporates the new "fireproof" building codes recently approved the city. According to some sources, when it opened for the season 1914, Federal League, Weeghman Park had a capacity of 14,000. Another source was the original capacity 20,000.
In late 1915 the Federal League folded. The ingenious Weeghman formed a union and gum maker William Wrigley Jr. to purchase the Chicago Cubs Charles P. Taft for about $ 500,000. Weeghman immediately moved to the Cubs in the dilapidated West Side Grounds to park two years of age. In 1918 acquired Wrigley controlling stake in the club. In February 1926, the park was renamed Wrigley Field. "
In 1927 an upper floor was added, In 1937, Bill Veeck, the son of club president ivy vines planted against the walls of the gardens.
Wrigley Field was a robbery against night games, no installation lights until 1988 after baseball officials refused to allow the Cubs to play any postseason games without lights. night games are still limited in number according to the city council. Capacity is set at 44 250.
Features
Wrigley Field is the jewel box design baseball stadium that was popular in the first part of the 20th century. The two recessed wall areas, or "wells", placed on both the left and the garden right, give these areas a bit more length than if the wall to follow the contour of the center, is also in the pits, when the winds are blowing cross that the balls have a habit of throwing all kinds of interesting directions, there is also a network of long-standing all along the outfield wall, the foot on two, top, the main use is to keep fans from falling off the bleacher area, and within the scope of the work, which is about seven, or ten feet below the top of the wall. Called "The basket "for the players and fans alike, the rules state that any landing field ball into the net is ruled a home run, making the distance to hit a homer at Wrigley actually shorter than the location of the field outfield wall.
Covered walls, gardens
Wrigley Field is known for its ivy covered walls different gardens.
The stadium is famous for its garden walls are covered with ivy. In the first weeks of the season Baseball has no ivy leaves out, and all we see are the vines in which it grows. However, as the baseball season progresses further in the spring, Ivy grows thick and green, disguising the hard surface of brick outfield wall. Many a ball has been lost in the ivy when hit into the outfield fences. A gardener will indicates that a ball is lost, by raising their hands. When this happens, the umpires call time and the state of the play ground rule double. In addition, there have been occasions gardeners get hurt when it hit the wall after a fly ball. The ivy covering the outfield wall is Boston Ivy, which can withstand the harsh Chicago winter better its English cousin. The ivy was planted in 1937 by the Cubs general manager Bill Veeck, to try to add some padding to the then brand new brick wall the outfield.
Rooftop seats
See also: Wrigley Roof
The seats of the rooftops across the street to offer similar views to those of the characteristic of stadium seating.
Old-time stadiums were often surrounded by buildings that will be given a "freebie" look at the game for enterprising souls. In most places, the clubs took steps to expand the bleachers or around, or even fences to block the view. Perhaps the most notorious of these was of Shibe Park in Philadelphia, which caused a rift between residents and the team that never healed. The Cubs themselves had built a tall fence along the gardens at West Side Park, to hide the field of flats whose back porches were right next to the fence outside the stadium.
But at Wrigley was different. The roofs of buildings apartment across Waveland and Sheffield, who before the date on which the ballpark, were often populated with a reasonable number of air food fans freedom while enjoying the game for free. The Cubs are tolerated in silence until the 1990s, when some owners began to build small apartments bleacher sections, and charging people to watch the games. This is a different ball game and the Cubs management became very vocal in expressing their displeasure, threatening legal action. In 2003 he came to the screens that line the upper outer walls with opaque strips, to block the best exterior sight lines. That was the closest thing to a fence even though he had seen Wrigley. So the steps are sometimes called "The Spiteless Fence" and "The Ivy Wall .
View from a rooftop on Waveland Avenue
This led to meetings and for a peaceful settlement between the parties. The building owners agree to share a portion of their profits with the Cubs and the Cubs obtained permission from the city to expand its own stadium bleachers along the sidewalks and do some additional construction in the open area of the property to the west, bordered by Clark and Waveland, and to close the rest of the avenue Seminar, which also existed in property. The seats on the roof are actually part of the stadium seating area, although not included in the number of seats.
Some of the roofs have become a legend in his own right. Lakeview Baseball Club, located on Avenida Sheffield (right field) from the stadium shows a sign that reads: "Eamus Catuli!" (Approximately Latin for "Let's Go Cubs!" Atuli translate to "puppies", the closest Latin equivalent), flanked by a counter that indicates the Cubs' long legacy of futility. The meter is labeled "AC" for "Anno Catuli" or "In the year the Cubs. "The first two digits indicate the number of years since the last division championship for the Cubs after the end of last season (2008), the next two digits indicate the number years since the Cubs last trip to the World Series (1945), and the digits for the last three indicate the number of years since their last World Series win (1908).
Today, the roofs have become an alternative venue Wrigley only to see games baseball. Many sites feature rooftop terraces, open bar, specialty items of food, and a unique atmosphere of game day, although the quality of the view can vary depending on the specific location on the roof.
Unusual wind patterns
The main scoreboard at Wrigley Field. This photo was taken on August 27, 2005 Cubs-Marlins game. Consider the video card under the scoreboard, and that was added in 2004.
In April and May wind often comes from Lake Michigan (less than a mile to the east), which means a north-east "wind blows" to knock down his home run potential and become into outputs. In summer, however, or on a hot day and windy, the wind often comes from the south and southwest, which means that the wind blows "and has the potential to turn normally harmless fly balls into home runs. A third variety is the cross wind, which usually runs from the left-field corner to corner right field and wreak havoc in all sorts of interesting. Depending on the direction of the wind, Wrigley can be one of the cozy parks in the majors for pitchers, or among the worst. This makes Wrigley one of the most unpredictable parks in the majors.
Many Cubs fans check your nearest flag before going to the park on game days for an indication of what the game would be like, what is less of a factor for night games, however, because the wind does not blow so strong after the sun sets.
With the wind blowing in the pitchers can dominate, and no-hitters have been thrown from time to time, but none recently, the last two occurred near the beginning and end of the 1972 season, by Burt Hooton and Milt Pappas respectively. In the seventh inning of the first Ken Holtzman no-hitter, on August 19, 1969, Hank Aaron of the Atlanta Braves a hammer that seemed headed for Waveland, but the wind caught it just enough for left fielder Billy Williams to jump and catch the "good."
With the wind blowing, some true tape measure home runs have been affected by the muscular hitters. Sammy Sosa and Dave "Kong" Kingman broke windows in apartment buildings on Waveland Avenue. on several occasions. Glenalla Hill put one on a rooftop. Batters occasionally in a slug, or alongside, the first row or two of the top cover "of the center-field bleachers. Sosa hit the roof of the cabin center field camera on the fly during the NLCS against the Florida Marlins, some 450 meters away.
But the biggest explosion was probably hit by Dave Kingman in a windy day in 1976, while with the Mets. According to local legend, that day, Kingman dropped a bomb which landed on the roof of the porch third in the garden Central East () side of Kenmore Avenue, about 550 feet away.
No hitter has beaten the center field scoreboard, but was affected by a different type of ball: a golf ball, beaten by Sam Snead, using a two iron.
No matter the time, many fans congregate in batting practice and games on Waveland Avenue, behind left field, and Sheffield Avenue, behind right field, for a chance to catch a home run ball.
Hand turned Scoreboard
As Fenway Park, Wrigley still has a hand turned marker. However, unlike the legendary home of Red Sox the scoreboard at Wrigley is mounted above the center-field bleachers, instead of at ground level, making it harder to hit. The marker was installed in 1937, when Bill Veeck installed new garden brick wall, and is the step, the marker has remained in place ever since, and has only been modified by a time in 1988, when the installation of lights was necessary to add a set of light stands facing the scoreboard. The scoreboard is still hand turned, with the score on the scoreboard entry through a teletypewriter (today, a team is used to display scores turners number), a turner number of rating changes watches closely, and reflects the foot along the inside of the marker, and manually replacing the numbers to reflect the new score for a particular game. It is known that during the existence of the current scoreboard of Wrigley Field, several players have been approached, but none has hit him. The frame is made sheet steel, and welded in place, then painted forest green, to reflect the foliage as they grow underneath. The numbers are placed on windows input are steel, painted forest green and white numbered with the table for the game at Wrigley, however, for the entry, until the end of that inning, reflect the current races scored yellow numbers. The clock, located at the top center of the marker, has never lost time in its 73 years existence. Doors to enter the scoreboard at both ends, and on the back of the marker is a blue flag with the words "Chicago Cubs" in white, the words are also placed with neon red lights, allowing the flag to be seen at night.
Main entrance canopy
Directly above the main entrance to the stadium is best known icon of the outside of the baseball stadium, a large red art deco marquee, painted in white letters that says "Welcome to Wrigley Field, home of the Chicago Cubs." The tent has been in place since the stadium was renamed in mid-1920, and won first placed on the upcoming games using a movie marquee design to the old, with lyrics that are replaced with a suction cup on a long pole. In the 1980s, the original marquee entertainment system was removed from the signal, and an electronic notice board displacement was added, effectively dividing the canopy two original pieces. The tent used red neon lights at night, showing the familiar "Welcome to Wrigley Field" in red, like the rest of the sign is in darkness. It is the most photographed outside the stadium.

Football
Wrigley Field football configuration with extra bleachers in right field seats
The Chicago Bears of the National Football League played at Wrigley Field from 1921-1970 before moving to Soldier Field. The team had transferred from Decatur, and kept the name "Staleys" for the season 1921. They changed the name of "Bears" to identify with the baseball team, a common practice in the NFL in those days. Wrigley Field, after the record for most NFL games played in the same stadium with 365 regular season games of the NFL, but this record was surpassed in September 2003 by the Giants Stadium in New Jersey, thanks to its dual occupation by the New York Giants and New York Jets.The game played between the Jets and the Dolphins in Miami on September 14, 2003 was the 366th regular season NFL game at Giants Stadium to break Wrigley's regular season record. The 50 stations of the Bears at Wrigley Field had once been a record of the NFL until 2006, when the Lambeau Field replicate this feat by hosting the Packers in the 50th season, which broke in 2007.
Initially worked Bears with the stands that were there. Over time have become largely portable bleachers that spanned the right and center field areas and covered most part of the existing seating tiers of seats right field corner. This "East Stand" raised Wrigley capacity to approximately 46,000 football, or a net gain of 9,000 seats over normal capacity. After the Bears left, this structure would live for several years as the "North Stand" at Soldier Field, until he was replaced by the permanent seat.
The football field runs north to south, ie from left field in the dirty side of first base. The refurbishment of the steps made for a very tight fit on the grid. In fact, the corner of South end zone was literally in the visiting team baseball dugout, which was full of pills to safety, and required a special ground rule cut that corner of the end zone. In one corner the north end line ran just inches short of the left field wall. There is a legend that Bronko Nagurski, fullback big bears, rolled through line, head down, and ran all the way through that end zone, hitting leather helmet head on the bricks. He returned to the bank and said to Coach "Papa Bear" George Halas: "That last guy gave me a good licking!" That kind of incident prompted the Bears to hang some padding in front to the wall.
The Bears are second only to the Green Bay Packers in total NFL championships, and all but one of them (their only Super Bowl championship) occurred during his tenure at Wrigley. After half a century, were forced to move, because the NFL wanted every one of its stadiums to seat at least 50,000. The Bears had one experimental game at Dyche Stadium (now Ryan Field) on the campus of Northwestern University, but otherwise kept at Wrigley until his transfer on the shore of Lake ended its five decades, running on the north side. A remnant of the time Bears at Wrigley was discovered during the off-season reconstruction 20072008 the playing field: the foundation for the goal posts.
Other Events
Hockey Track Design
The Chicago Sting of the North American Soccer League (NASL) used Wrigley together with the Comiskey Park, its home games during the 1970s and early 1980s. The Sting hosted the San Diego Sockers August 25, 1979 at Wrigley when the Bears were using Soldier Field. Unlike the arrangement of the Bears football field, soccer field running east to west, from right in foul territory in the third base side. [Citation needed]
On January 1, 2009, the National Hockey League played its classic 2009 Winter within Friendly pitting two "Original Six" teams – the host Chicago Blackhawks and visiting Detroit Red Wings – in a game of ice hockey outdoors.

The Red Wings won 64.

Traditions and pillars
Corporate sponsorship
Some advertising Wrigley Field in 2007
Wrigley Field shares its name with the company Wrigley, since the park was named for its then owner, William Wrigley Jr., CEO of Wrigley Company. Already in the 1920s, before the park officially became known as Wrigley Field, the score was crowned by the elf-like Twins "Doublemint" was posed as a pitcher and a hitter. Also advertisements were painted on the right-field wall to expose the stadium early history, before the remodeling of 1923 that he stands there. After that, Doublemint elves were the only visible advertising inside the park. The elves were permanently retired in 1937, when the bleachers and scoreboard were rebuilt. Would about 45 years before the park advertising reappear.
Owned by the Tribune Company since 1981, Wrigley Field has been a notable exception to the recent trend of selling corporate naming rights for sports facilities. The Tribune Company has decided not to rename the stadium, using other ways to bring corporate sponsorship in the field.
During the mid 1980s, Anheuser-Busch's Budweiser and Bud Light ads placed beneath the field scoreboard central. Bud Light has become the sponsor of the stands rebuilt in 2006.
In early 2000, following the trend of many baseball stadiums, a chroma keyboard green screen behind home plate was installed in the line of sight of the camera television center field to allow electronic "rotation" advertisements visible only to television audiences. For 2006, the board has been established to allow ads to both physical and electronic (with you can see live shots of reproduction).
In 2007, advertising in the field appeared for the first time since the early days of the park. Sporting goods company Under Armour put their logo on the double door between the ivy on the outfield wall in left center and right-center field. Ads are also placed the bench, originally for Sears stores, then Walter E. Smithe furniture and State Farm Insurance now.
Corporate sponsorship has not been limited to park grounds. Wrigley Field is famous for its view of the neighboring communities through Waveland and Sheffield Avenues. In addition to the spectators standing or sitting in the roofs of apartments, corporate sponsors have often taken advantage of these places as well. In the early days of Weeghman Park, a building across Sheffield Avenue local advertising venue known as Bismarck Gardens (later called the Wonder Garden after the First World War). In the same building since then has been announced for the Torco Oil Company, Southwest Airlines, and Miller Brewing Company.
A building across the deep field center-right was topped by a neon sign for the start of Baby Ruth candy in the mid-1930s and running for about 40 years. This deployment The Chicago-based Curtiss Candy Company, coincidentally placed in the line of sight of the "Babe Ruth's called shot" was no coincidence that the games began to be televised in the sign 1940she was also in the line of sight of the camera from ground level and left behind home plate. The sign of aging finally withdrew in early 1970.
Another place for a long time that a sign is the slope roof of a building behind left-center. Not suitable for the steps that now decorate many of these buildings, angling the roof of the building has been painted as a large sign for at least the 1940s. In recent years there has been a sign of bright red Budweiser and, from 2009, a notice of Horseshoe Casino. Other buildings have been sponsoring beer signs, for such as Old Style (when I was a sponsor of broadcasting Cubs) and Miller, and WGN-TV, has broadcast games for the Cubs since April 1948.
For 2008 and 2009, the Cubs reached agreement with the Chicago Board Options Exchange to allow the CBOE to auction about 70 season ticket box and the award seat right to name them.
For the 2009 season, the Cubs announced that the renovated restaurant space at the southeast corner of Wrigley Field, before known as the Friendly Confines Café will now be known as the Club of Morgan.
On October 27, 2009, Thomas S. Ricketts officially took over 95% ownership of the Chicago Cubs, Wrigley Field, and 25% stake in Comcast SportsNet Chicago. The Tribune will keep 5% of the property. Ricketts, however, has not expressed interest to sell the naming rights to Wrigley Field, preferring to keep the name he has used since 1926.
"White flag time at Wrigley!"
Retired number of Ernie Banks and Ron Santo in left and foulpole for Billy Williams and Ryne Sandberg in foulpole right field. Since May 3, 2009, the number 31 also flies in both foul poles to honor Ferguson Jenkins (left field) and Greg Maddux (right field).
Main article: Cubs Win flag
The term "White flag time at Wrigley!" means that the Cubs have won. The ritual of raising the flags after a match is decades old, but the phrase itself did not begin until the 1990s, coined by Chip Caray.
From the days of PK Wrigley and 1937, the bleachers / marker reconstruction either a flag with a "W" or an "L" has flown from the mast scoreboard, indicating balance of the day. In the event of a doubleheader which is divided, both flags are flown.
Past Cubs media guides show that the original flags were blue with white "W" white and blue with an "L", the latter coincidentally suggesting "surrender." In 1978, blue and white lights were mounted above the marker, to denote the most victories and defeats.
The flags were replaced in the 1980s, and combinations of colors are invested with the "win" flag be white with a blue W, and the banner of "loss" otherwise. In 1982, the number of retirees Ernie Banks was flying in a foul pole, white with blue numbers.
According to tradition, the fans are known to bring victory to the flags round games, and its presentation after a win the Cubs. Flags are also sold at the stadium. On April 24, 2008, the Cubs flew an extra white flag showing "10,000" in blue, together with the flag to win, as the 10,000 th win in franchise history was achieved on the road last night. Along side the tradition of the "W" and "L" flag, the song "Go Go Cubs" is sung after every home victory.

Accessibility and transport
Addison Station at Wrigley Field is served by Red Line trains. This view is blocked by buildings built in 2007.
The Red Line stop at Addison is less than one block east of Wrigley Field. The stadium was originally built for the proximity to the railroad tracks. At the conclusion of games, the scoreboard operator rises to the top of the center field scoreboard either a white flag with a blue "W" to signify a Cubs victory, or a blue flag with white "L" for a loss. This is done not only to allow passengers in the nearby "L" trains to see the outcome of the game, but also anyone who passes through the park, you can now see the results of game that day.

The little parking is available throughout the park can go for as much as $ 100 per space. To alleviate this problem, the Cubs sponsor a shuttle service parking at the nearby campus of DeVry University in Addison and West as part of its agreement with local neighborhood groups.
Commemorative stamps
