The Friendly Confines

Opened in 1914, Wrigley Field is the second-oldest stadium in Major League Baseball and one of the most beloved sports venues in America. Home to the Chicago Cubs, it’s a living time capsule of baseball’s golden age.

Charm That Can’t Be Replicated

From the iconic ivy-covered brick outfield walls to the manually operated scoreboard, Wrigley doesn’t try to be modern — it’s proudly timeless. Nestled in the middle of a neighborhood, the ballpark oozes authenticity.

Moments That Defined Wrigley

  • 2016 World Series Game 5 — setting the stage for the Cubs’ curse-breaking title.

  • Kerry Wood’s 20-strikeout game in 1998.

  • Sammy Sosa’s home run duels during the late ’90s.

Neighborhood Vibes and Tradition

  • Fans watch games from rooftops across the street.

  • Sing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" with a celebrity guest every 7th inning.

  • Grab a Chicago-style dog and Old Style beer and soak in the sunshine.

Celebrate a Century of Cubs Baseball

If you’ve seen the ivy, felt the breeze off the lake, or cheered with the Wrigley faithful, turn it into a commemorative ticket FanStub to honor your moment at the Friendly Confines.
