Wrigley Field

Wrigley Field from above on a June day in 2022, lined up with a Chicago Cubs sign so the whole diamond, the outfield and the hand-operated scoreboard in center field sit in one frame. What a bird's-eye view shows best is how tightly the park sits in its neighborhood: rooftop bleachers on the buildings across the street let fans watch from outside the walls. The ivy along the base of the outfield wall was planted in 1937, the same year the 27-by-75-foot scoreboard went up behind the bleachers. The park opened in 1914, and lights only arrived in 1988, with the first night game scheduled for August 8 that year.
