Wrigley Field, the home of the Chicago Cubs, was once known as Weeghman Park and opened its doors in 1914. In 1916, the Cubs played there for the first time, defeating the Cincinnati Reds. After eventually purchasing the Cubs, the maker of the well-known Wrigley chewing gum had the stadium renamed Wrigley Field in 1927.
If baseball is your thing, you can take daily and group tours of Wrigley Field and, if you arrive at the correct time, you might even be able to watch a game. After that, head over to The Chicago Diner for a big supper that will leave you well satisfied.
Wrigley Field is renowned for many things, including its ivy-covered brick outfield wall, the peculiar wind patterns off Lake Michigan, the iconic red marquee over the main entrance, the hand-turned scoreboard, its location in a primarily residential neighborhood with no parking lots and views from the rooftops behind the outfield, as well as for being the last Major League park to install lights for night games in 1988.
