Wrigley Field — Attraction in Lake View Township

Wrigley Field is one of the most iconic sports venues in the world and a beloved institution in the city of Chicago. Located in the Lakeview neighborhood, the historic ballpark is home to the Chicago Cubs baseball team and has been a fixture in the city since 1914.

Walking into Wrigley Field is like stepping back in time. The old-fashioned brick facade and iconic marquee are instantly recognizable, and the ivy-covered outfield walls provide a unique and charming backdrop to the action on the field. The atmosphere inside the stadium is electric, with fans of all ages coming together to cheer on their beloved Cubs.

One of the most notable features of Wrigley Field is the hand-operated scoreboard located in center field. The scoreboard is one of the few remaining manual scoreboards in Major League Baseball, and it adds to the vintage charm of the ballpark. Watching the operators change the numbers by hand after every play is a unique and memorable experience that you won't find anywhere else.

In addition to the atmosphere, Wrigley Field also offers a variety of food and beverage options. From classic ballpark fare like hot dogs and popcorn to more upscale options like Chicago-style pizza and craft beer, there is something for everyone. The vendors inside the stadium are friendly and efficient, and the food is always fresh and delicious.

Another highlight of Wrigley Field is the view. Whether you are sitting in the bleachers or in one of the more expensive seats closer to the field, you will be treated to stunning views of the Chicago skyline and Lake Michigan. There are few things more beautiful than watching a Cubs game on a sunny afternoon with the cityscape in the background.

Of course, no review of Wrigley Field would be complete without mentioning the Cubs themselves. The team has a long and storied history, and the ballpark has seen its fair share of memorable moments over the years. From Babe Ruth's called shot in the 1932 World Series to the Cubs' long-awaited World Series victory in 2016, Wrigley Field has played host to some of the most memorable moments in baseball history.

While there is no denying the charm and history of Wrigley Field, there are some downsides to the stadium as well. The seating can be cramped, especially in the bleachers, and the limited number of bathrooms can make for long lines during peak times. Additionally, the lack of modern amenities like video screens and air conditioning can be a drawback for some fans.

Despite these minor inconveniences, however, Wrigley Field remains one of the most beloved and iconic sports venues in the world. Whether you are a die-hard Cubs fan or just a lover of baseball and history, a visit to Wrigley Field is an experience you won't forget. With its unique charm, stunning views, and passionate fans, Wrigley Field is truly a gem of the...

ACCESSIBILITY REVIEW: Getting close to Wrigley field for any game or concert is especially difficult. There is a parking lot next to the Cubby Bear that you may drop someone off in, but even then, they still have to walk/roll quite a distance to get to the main gate or the Wintrust gate (bleachers, lawn and most accessible seats.) Handicap parking is hard to come by and expensive.

Signage in the building is poor. We had to ask three employees until we found the elevator. (Lots of unnecessary steps taken.) The elevator is not huge, so you often have to wait for room when trying to exit an event, so be patient.

Signage is poor on the upper levels to find your accessible seats. BUT . . . if you ask an employee, they will WALK YOU TO YOUR SEATS! (How cool is that???) There are STEEP ramps to get to sections, be advised.

Seats are comfortable folding chairs. If you are using a rollator or wheelchair, they will remove the chair in your place. Companions then sit in the folding chairs next to you. You will get bumped into often by drunken concert-goers walking in the aisle behind you. Restrooms are quite far from the accessible seats in the upper sections. Due to the size of the restroom, I had to leave my collator by the sink and limp to the stall.

There are wheelchairs available with concierge service, but this is on a first-come, first-served basis. (Who wants to pay hundreds of dollars for their seat and then risk not being able to get to their seat?!) Come on Wrigley Field, this should be a reservation service! And please, Wrigley Field, make is clearer on your website how a disabled person may be dropped off curbside at the park, where disabled parking spots are available and what time roads get blocked by police prior to...

What isn’t there to like about Wrigley Field? Well one thing is the food concessions have gotten worse this year. In a season where the entire stadium is completely renovated. All the concession stands are brand new even in the right field section where I sit. The concession stands now have their own dedicated kitchens where the food is mostly “made to order” but somehow they keep striking out on good quality food. I have waited more than 10 minutes for an Aged Cheddar Burger from the Marquis Classics Stand and thought it would be hot and delicious (because it took 10 minutes to cook) but instead it was semi warm, the cheese wasn’t melted and the fries it came with were hard and cold. At another game I ordered the Chicken Fingers, which last year were awesome, but again, cold and tough to chew. I will have to say the new Giordano’s Pizza Stand in section 129 was great. The Italian Salad and Pepperoni Pizza were tasty and the salad was cold and the pizza was piping hot. The new adult beverage stands are a great improvement and great addition to the right field stands. Service is quick and friendly but watch out for the price. A double vodka and soda will run you $16.00. The good news is the team on the field is playing great baseball and really that’s what we’re all at Wrigley Field for. To see the Cubs win and have a fun afternoon or evening.

Got to see Dead and Company at Wrigley a few weeks ago and the staff at Wrigley know how to handle a lively crowd of old hippies, young newbies and everyone in between. Dead and company put on a great show even tho it rained in the middle of the first night and rained for hours before the second show. Once inside Wrigley, you couldn’t even tell it had rained all day. Well done Wrigley...
