From Wikipedia
Wrigley Field is a ballpark on the North Side of Chicago, Illinois, United States. It is the home ballpark of Major League Baseball's Chicago Cubs, one of the city's two MLB franchises. It first opened in 1914 as Weeghman Park for Charles Weeghman's Chicago Whales of the Federal League, which folded after the 1915 baseball season. The Cubs played their first home game at the park on April 20, 1916, defeating the Cincinnati Reds 7–6 in 11 innings. Chewing gum magnate William Wrigley Jr. of the Wrigley Company acquired the Cubs in 1921. It was named Cubs Park from 1920 to 1926, before changing its name to Wrigley Field in 1927. The stadium currently seats 41,649 people.

Signature Moments
The Ivy-Covered Outfield Walls · 1937
Bill Veeck planted Boston ivy along Wrigley's outfield walls in 1937. It's become the most iconic botanical feature in American sports — a ball lost in the ivy is ruled a ground-rule double.
2016 World Series Championship · 2016
The Cubs' first World Series title since 1908 — ending the longest championship drought in North American pro sports (108 years). Won in Game 7 at Progressive Field against Cleveland.
