- ktkadishBoston, Massachusetts101 contributionsBaseball fans delightRuben and John guided us on through the friendly confines. Stories were shared on the park's history, team's trials and successes, and memories of players and games over the years. Stops included the Cubs dugout, but we missed the chance to get close to the outfield ivy due to a private event on the field. Our group had nearly 50 people, making it hard to hear the full story if we weren't near the front of the group. Despite that, it was one of the better ballpark tours I've been on over the years.Visited October 2023Travelled with familyWritten 1 October 2023
- RobyncakesMelbourne, Australia268 contributionsBest!!I did the tour here recently, such an amazing experience! Does involve a fair amount of stairs. Very worthwhile experience to see the locker room used by Michael Jordan and Babe Ruth, learn about the history of the cubs and the ground. Absolute highlightVisited October 2023Travelled soloWritten 10 October 2023
- Kevin BMount Juliet, Tennessee3,752 contributionsGreat ballparkMy wife and I are Yankees fans, but we're also baseball fans in general and we've been making our way to all of the MLB ballparks (this was 14/30). Wrigley has always been our most anticipated ballpark given its history and we were not disappointed. The ballpark is amazing and they've been able to renovate and keep it modernized while keeping all the classic elements of the ballpark. Our seats were comfortable and our view was great and the food and drink selection was very good as well. It's in a great part of town and it was just a pleasure to see a ballgame here. We'd 100% come back for a Cubs game whenever we're in town!Visited May 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 19 December 2023
- Patrick L7 contributionsA must do on your baseball bucket list.Booked tour directly through MLB/Cubs. Great trip through its history. Must do for any baseball fan. Learned about the rooftop bleachers and visitors clubhouse. Tour guide did not have amplification so it was hard to hear him at times. Had a snack at neat local spot called Wrigleyville dogs (on N Clark) before the tour then had a larger meal at Murphys Bleachers tavern (right behind centerfield) on corner of Waveland/Sheffield. Great place with lots of memorabilia.Visited March 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 29 March 2024
- Nathan SPennsylvania83 contributionsA field so niceI had to visit it twice, big Cubs fan here got to Wrigley for the first time to see a night game for my birthday and loved it. As a matter of fact I enjoyed it so much we also decided to hit a day game the next day. The stadium seemed clean, had nice shops to get your cubs gear and plenty of stores and bars around the outside in Wrigleyville as well. It truly is a destination ballpark that you should visit if you have the chance.Visited May 2024Travelled with friendsWritten 26 May 2024
- hockeyaw19Marlborough, Massachusetts674 contributionsMade it to the Friendly ConfinesThe friendly confines of Wrigley Field are a must for any baseball fans. Being from Boston, it felt quite like Fenway - old school, with narrow walk ways that take you back in time. The outside wrigley area is full of shops and vendors hocking goods and food. There was a nice little 'party park' called Gallegher's Way adjacent to the stadium that had activities for kids and statues of former greats. The game itself started around 130pm and we were in section 321 first row. The climb up was a bit taxing on my older father and the steps down to the row were steep. The view was great and you're certainly in foul ball territory as several dotted around us. The only challenge was a mid-May game and the sun being behind us meant we were engulfed in shade. The shade along with a constant wind made for a pretty chilly event. The concession stands were a directly behind our section and we would go out there and warm up a bit when needed. Wrigley, like Fenway, is not cheap - from ticket to food. Bring your wallet.Visited May 2024Travelled with familyWritten 8 June 2024
- DisneybusPittsgrove, New Jersey906 contributionsIt could be, it might be... It is! A great tour of America's iconic ballparkMy wife and I did the tour one morning while the Cubs were on the road. The tour was wonderful, our hosts were excellent, and the history rekindled nostalgia from another era. The park has gone under major renovations and substantial upgrades from yesterday. Its beautiful! We progressed slowly around the park taking our photos and sitting or stopping several times to learn about the park in its current pristine condition as well as of course its history. Stops included the bleachers where we learned about the bleacher bumbs, the basket, and of course the ivy. We saw and learned about the famous Waveland Avenue and its rooftop bleachers, and walked on the field where we got an ivy leaf souvenir. The tour progressed to the press box, then ended up in the visitor's dugout. Our age and legs couldn't take some of the ramps so Larry was kind to take us up in an elevator; surprising there were no escalators in the park. Not being a baseball fan, my wife was skeptical of taking the tour but really enjoyed the day. We toured Dodger stadium last year, now still need to visit Fenway! Who knew both Al Capone and John Dillinger were Cubs fans!Visited May 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 9 June 2024
- Shackleton87Topeka, Kansas56 contributionsA Baseball Fan's Must!An unforgettable baseball experience. This was my son's big request on our trip to Chicago. Crowd was involved, people were friendly, and the environment is a truly unique experience. I've attended games it many major league stadiums, and this is definitely the most unique experience. The "game presentation" isn't quite as involved as some that I have seen, but it doesn't need to be. My only criticism is the same as most ballparks - ridiculous concession prices. $7.99 for a bottle of soda? Also, be patient about exiting - it took us awhile to get out, but that's part of the experience!Visited June 2024Travelled with familyWritten 10 June 2024
- Toodles4now69 contributionsHighly Recommend a Tour of Wrigley FieldLet me start by stating that I am not a big baseball fan. I mention that because being a fan of baseball was not my motivation to go on this tour. That being said, this was probably one of my favourite things to do in Chicago. Our guide was so engaging and informative. Wrigley Field is historic and iconic. I loved everything about this tour - from watching the grounds keepers, to sitting in various seats, learning about the culture of the bleachers, to sitting in the press box, to going to the dugout and team room. I feel highly motivated to return to Chicago to attend a Cubs game to see it all in action. Plus, I would really like to return when we have more time to explore the area around Wrigley Field.Visited June 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 12 June 2024
- RandallWest Des Moines, Iowa119 contributionsCubbies gameThis is stadium number 7 for me. I love this ballpark from a design perspective. It’s kinda like an underground city where all the food is. Then you climb stairs to get to your seats. We sat in section 112 which was nice and shaded from the sun for a 120pm start time. Food was good, not as many options as some other games I’ve been to but taste of food was great unlike the twins ballpark food. This is a ballpark I highly recommend. Plus it’s historical. Cubs lost to the cardinals 3-0 but still a great day.Visited June 2024Travelled with familyWritten 15 June 2024

Maybe it’s because we just opened things up after being locked away for a year of Covid closure. But fans are extra obnoxious, entitled, and annoying. If you actually want to be able to sit down and enjoy the game, forget about it in the bleachers. There are absolutely not enough seats to fit all the people. So you’re spending all this money to stand and hope you can even get a glimpse of the game from where you stand. The few seats that you find open are guarded by peoples feet claiming they are saving it for someone that is coming back but isn’t seen for a hot minute. Not to mention the amount of people that won’t move over because the small spaces next to them is there to hold their beer. When you ask the staff in blue they say to speak to the staff in red bu the seating area to help you find a seat but there’s no way in hell these people will move or do anything other than yell at people from their spot, to sit down when they stand up for a minute, and dismiss you to another area which will of course be full because they’ve just overbooked. Absolute worst stadium I’ve ever been to. Will take the Sox stadium over the Cubs stadium any day it’s just so much nicer.

I mean, it's Wrigley. IF you can catch a game when you're int own, you will not be disappointed. We bought cheap seats ($62) and never went to them. We walked into the main entrance behind home plate and walked along the 100 level concourse along the 3rd base line towards the Hornito's Tequila balcony. It' standing room right on the 3rd base line and is a great spot to enjoy some drinks, watch the game and maybe catch a fly. Keep those eyes open!

One of the most historical ballparks in America. If you are in Chicago make sure to catch a game. Bleacher seats are the best. There are no escalators just walking ramps so if you seat in the upper deck be prepared to walk. There are great views of the city from the food decks, like the Jack Daniels Deck.

An amazing place! We first went to a night game and were blown away by the friendly atmosphere among fans and the staff. I am from the NY area where stadium staff are passive at best. At Wrigley they go out of their way to make sure you have a good experience. The fans were also courteous and welcoming.
The next day we went back for a tour of the stadium. Our guide, Steve, gave a fascinating presentation about the history of the stadium and insights on its present day aspects.

We were Bleacher Bums for a day and it was an incredible experience. I don't even like baseball and I had a fantastic time. The fans are extremely passionate and the bleacher experience is kind of like Animal House meets Bull Durham. The fans busied themselves by making beer cup snakes and yelling at other fans when the opposing team hit a ball into the stands..."Throw it back" or take the consequences. The best part was when the Cubs won and the whole stadium sang, "Go Cubs Go."
We also took the tour before the game. It was good to hear some Wrigley Field and Cubs facts. It was nice to go down to the field but there was no behind-the-scenes peaks, which was a little disappointing. Overall, the game is a must-see, the tour is fine if you have $30 to spare.

Wrigley Field is by far one of the iconic ballparks in the major leagues. It is a "ballpark", not a stadium. Built in 1914, it has been recently renovated to better serve the needs of the public. One downside of this ballpark is the time it takes to get to the park and the difficulty and cost of parking. Research parking on a site call ParkWhiz before visiting. There are many more restaurants around the park to eat at before entering, so try to eat before the game. The best place to buy tickets if you have not done so early is Stub Hub. Good Luck and have fun at the game!

I've been to dozens of ball parks across the country. Wrigley field is a historic old park and buy itself is a beautiful part of baseball history. That is the only thing worthwhile to go there! The local fans were the rudest, most unfriendly people I have ever experienced in all the ballparks I've visited (over 30). It is also the least accessible I've ever been to. Plan an hour or more to find parking on the many one-way streets surrounding the park, and well over an hour to get out of the area after the game. i got lucky to park fairly close to the ballpark, but it was it was like parking in a sardine can, inches between cars, all passengers had to get out before parking. But it was at a local Hotdog shop that we got some dogs from after the game. feed the car carload for what would have been one or two inside the park. It is by far one of the more expensive parks to visit for a game for concessions. I meet up with several other out of town baseball fans after the game that shared the same experience with me, so this was not a one-off event.

Ridiculously charming. I had been to Fenway several times and thought it had the most character of any ballpark and now realize it was a pretty far second. Wrigley Field is old and distinctive and integrated directly with the city. Very clean and yet not sterile. Wonderful environment to watch a game. If anything too charming/perfect, if that's a thing. Parking seems tricky- we splurged and paid a lot for parkign right up close but I might research parking a little before you go.

Such an amazing stadium! The fans are really hardcore into their team. So many people in the bleachers! The crazy thing is that this stadium is cashless! You can go to a counter and pay by card or you can just sit in your seat and have them bring it to you. Amazing! One of the oldest stadiums and its the most in the future! Make sure you get your "My First Game" photo.
Getting there by train was so convenient. Make sure you bring your credit card with the chip so you can just TAP onto the train.
Food options are not amazing like many other stadiums but I'm sure given more time, they can add. Walk around the whole stadium. Fans are everywhere! We ran into a guy who shaved his chest hair with a W for the win...so - let this be your guide!

Attended a Tuesday night baseball game in August. We sat in the lower-left field seats. This stadium is one of oldest in the entire league, and dates back to a much earlier era of stadium design. As such, you are very close to the action, and it has a very intimate feel to it. We also enjoyed the fact that unlike most other stadiums, Wrigley Field is surrounded by neighborhoods. The environment inside the stadium was nice as well, as a good amount of Cubs fans turned out, even though the game wasn't terribly consequential for the standings. We had a good experience at one of the landmark sports fields in American.

We are visiting Chicago next month and wanted to surprise my husband to watch a game. However, the game is on the day of our flight back to Atlanta. Is there a place we can store our luggage so we can just head straight to the airport after the game? Thanks!
Written 18 June 2024
As far as I know there isn’t a place to store your luggage there. We had the same situation and had to store our luggage at the hotel and then return to the hotel to collect our luggage before heading to the airport. I can tell you that the train to Wrigley field and the airport are efficient and helped keep everything on track.

Are there any hotels near wrigley that are Reasonably priced ? Or is an air BB a better option
Written 28 June 2022
Going to a July 1:20pm game at Wrigley--taking 88 year-old mom who doesn't tolerate direct sun well. Also doesn't walk real well (dont' suggest a wheelchair or walker--can barely get her to use a cane!!!), so getting to upper seats is problematic. We want her to be able to watch the Cubs and have a hot dog this summer!!!
Written 19 March 2022
The historic nature of the park may work against you here with getting her up to the covered part of the park. Note that when we saw a game there last summer, the noise level under the roof was noticeably louder than other parks we've been to. Your best bet might be to contact the Cubs directly and explain your situation. Good luck.

Thinking of attending a concert at Wrigley this summer... We really want the experience of seeing a show in the pit out on the field but wondering how the stage is set up, if the band’s fairly visible for average and below average height people?
Written 26 February 2020
Hi the area has a small slope assuming you will be standing you should be fine. The WCs are as you look at the stage to your left & underground, we were in the middle and on the 3 steps that circle the stage about 30mtr back. From here we had good visuals & near to the loos.
