“NUTS ON CLARK” Presents… Historic Wrigley Field
April 27th, 2010Yes, we’ve talked about the Cubs 2010 season and how seeing Wrigley is one of the top 10 things to do in Chicago. But what does Wrigley Field really have to offer to tourists in Chicago, other than its close proximity to our flagship gourmet popcorn store?
Wrigley’s Sports History
Wrigley is of course known to baseball fans as the home of the Chicago Cubs since 1916. But fewer know that for most of its existence it was a multi-sport facility, acting as home to Chicago’s NFL franchise, the Bears, from the 1920s to the 1970s. It is the oldest ballpark in the National League and the second oldest in use in Major League baseball, behind only Fenway Park, home of the Red Sox in Boston.
