Wrigley Field Information
Wrigley Field was built in 1914, but hasn’t changed much over the years. It’s serving as home of the Chicago Cubs for the 91st consecutive season. Wrigley Field is located at 1060 West Addison, Chicago, IL 60613-4397. The shortest distance for a home run ball to travel in Wrigley is 353 feet out to right field, but the wind is usually quite strong in Chicago, making it seem like a much shorter distance from plate to fence. The bleachers in the outfield sit 11.5 feet above the ground and in the corners, it rises to an even 15 feet. Every seat at Wrigley Field is a good one, because no ticket will cost you more than $50, even the box seats.
An even better deal can be found on select “value dates” when no ticket is more than $23 and bleacher seats only cost $15. Because Wrigley is located in a residential neighborhood, they are forced to play more afternoon games, in order to avoid curfew requirements set by the city. There is little public parking near the field, but the Cubs offer public transportation to and from the stadium, and they’ll even drop you off right in from of Wrigley’s entrance. If public transportation isn’t your style, you can ride your bike for free and have it checked and secured during the game.
