There's only one place in the world you could be - Wrigley Field. Home to the Chicago Cubs, Wrigley Field draws tourists year round who pose under the classic neon sign over the main entrance to the baseball shrine. This ivy-covered stadium, one of the oldest in America, is described by some as being as 'big as a pillbox'. It's an old fashioned ballpark, where the scoreboard is still changed by hand and where fans fought tooth and nail to prevent the stadium being kitted out with lights. Notice how the surrounding flats have adapted their roofs with bleachers for watching games.
Players take fans on tours of the stadium several times during the season.
Wrigley Field is north of Lincoln Park. The El goes straight to the stadium, as do several bus lines. The role of the commoner in the American Revolution sets the tone for the humanistic exhibits. One, titled Fort Dearborn and Frontier Chicago , shows how settlers and Indians changed each other's lives. The Pioneer Court gives hands-on demonstrations in the intricacies of making candles, weaving blankets and knitting clothes.
