Arguably one of the most scenic landmarks in the history of baseball in the United States of America, Wrigley Field stands as a shining beacon to the tradition of professional sports entertainment. Images of historic Wrigley Field dominate the collective conscious of the baseball faithful when asked to imagine the quintessential American baseball diamond. But viewing pictures of Wrigley Field and
. actually experiencing this amazing sports facility are two entirely different animals altogether. Wrigley Field is easily recognizable as the stadium on the north side of Chicago with the ivy-covered outfield walls. Most baseball fans, whether supporters of the Chicago Cubs or not, can recall with ease a particular memory of an outfielder leaping into the tangled ivy to retrieve a long fly ball or the numerous fans packing the corridors of both the grandstands and the rooftops of nearby buildings. Games at the historic stadium, despite the Chicago Cubs abysmal record over the past century, are usually performed in front of sell-out crowds and finding tickets can be quite challenging. In fact, tickets are sold not only for seats within the stadium but also on the rooftop vistas that surround the outfield. Tickets for nearby rooftops often sell for much more than regular stadium seats. Wrigley Field is quite unique in that, regarding the usual sell-out crowd, day-of-game tickets are sold a few hours before each game. These tickets sell for a fraction of the cost one might find for either rooftop or stadium seats and offer some of the best action for a wonderful Wrigley Field experience. The daily tickets are designated standing-room-only and permit a ticket holder to stand in the empty corridors and aisles of the regular stadium seating. For a better idea of the stadium layout, the Wrigley Field website is a great resource complete with a map of seating, pricing and availability. http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/chc/ballpark/index.jsp or www.wrigleyvillerooftops.com
