The Chicago Cubs are an MLB National League (Central Division) team based in Chicago, Illinois. Their home, Wrigley Field (opened 1914), is among the oldest ballparks in the United States, holding 41,649 fans.
Ivy planted in the 1930s covers the brick outfield walls, an iconic symbol of the ballpark’s identity, and the left-field bleachers are more popular than the right, thanks to more shade.
Tickets

A tradition dating to the 1930s: a blue “W” flag is raised above the scoreboard after wins, and a white “L” flag after losses. Passionate bleacher fans are affectionately known as the “Bleacher Bums.”

💡 Insider Tips
Wrigley Field is the only MLB park with unpadded ivy-covered walls. You can also watch from private rooftops on Waveland/Sheffield Avenue, though these require advance booking only, no walk-up tickets. Bags must be under 16x16x8 inches, and backpacks aren’t allowed.
