Chicago's Wrigley Field

Seating capacity: 41,503

Field surface: Merion bluegrass and clover

Year opened: 1914

The second oldest active ballpark (behind Boston's Fenway Park), Wrigley has been home to the Chicago Cubs since 1914. Sure, Cubs fans haven't enjoyed the thrill of a World Series title since 1908, but that doesn't mean they aren't head over heels in love with their historic ballpark. In fact, spending a day in the friendly confines of Wrigley Field should be near the top of any baseball fan's wish list. From the ivy-covered outfield walls to the manually operated scoreboard, Wrigley is what the modern retro-inspired stadiums modeled themselves after. We recommend purchasing a seat in the outfield bleachers for a truly unique experience (just don't forget to throw back any home run balls hit by the visiting team).

Fast Fact: Wrigley Field's first official night game took place on August 9, 1988, against the New York Mets. The Cubs defeated the Mets by a score of 6-4.
