This past weekend Julie and I finally got around to taking a tour of Wrigley Field. The tour lasts about an hour and runs $25, you cover the Cubs dugout, the Press Box, the Visitor’s clubhouse and the grandstands. Our tour guides were great and full of historical facts regarding the ballpark. For example Wrigley Field had the first concession stand ever and it still stands today under the press box.

Visitor Club House

The Visitor’s clubhouse was sparse, by no means damp and deprecated like one might assume but definitely not cozy. We were informed that this space is also used as the green room for all the concerts that the stadium has held recently.

The Field


After the clubhouse the tour headed back through the concourse to the Cubs dugout.  From the field you could see all the preparation going into the park for the Home Opener later this week.  We also got to see the digital board that is part of the new Budweiser Patio.

Side Notes:

* Julie took a good portion of these photographs.

** Julie did not take the photograph of the troughs.
