A Pictorial Tour Inside Wrigley Field

Thanks for posting. I always wondered when Pat and Ron would go back and forth and Pat would say something like “Lake Michigan is a wonderful shade of blue today Ron”. Now I know you can see it from the press box, awesome picts.

Can’t wait ’til part 2!

(It’s so nice to see all the green grass and ivy. I can’t wait ’til summer!)

Beautiful photo of the field, the puffy clouds, etc. — makes it look like the perfect summer day.

Fun pictures.

in larger format?

Absolutely beautiful. I haven’t been to Wrigley Field since June 2008, and this post makes me miss the ballpark.

But I’ll be inside Wrigley Field in four months.

The other ballparks just don’t have the aura Wrigley Field does.

Did you get inside the Cubs’ clubhouse?

you’re a good photographer Zeke!

I found all of the dents going back to the clubhouse amusing.

As someone who has not been to Wrigley in a number of years this was a beautiful set of pictures.

One of the many things I checked off my Cubs bucket list. It was a very cool experience.

Where did you take the picture of “Respect Wrigley” sign? When we did our tour, they only let us go around the dirt behind homeplate.

I don’t think the fancy handshakes and high 5’s will ever look the same to me.

I HOPE there is soap provided during a game.

My dad isnt the only one with a pic of the urinal from the dugout…..he posted his on Facebook no less

When I went out with the family in 08, the days we were in Chicago they did not run the tours. We missed out. Amazing how tight the clubhouse’s are, I see what the players complain about.
 Just a beautiful park, nice work Zeke

Looks like fun. Great birthday gift. Now I know what I’m asking for for the next gift occasion. Drats-that’s not til Xmas. I don’t think I’d be able to convince my husband to go any other way though. He thinks it’s a lot of money for a tour of a place we’ve been so many times and would rather spend the money on going when there is a game. Maybe if I show him these he’ll realize there is more to the tour than he thinks.

Oh and beautiful photography BTW!

I think the Cubs were still in town playing at the Cell, which is why there is still a fair amount of stuff in their lockers…

There really IS more to Wrigley than you’ll see ‘just’ attending a game. On this particular morning, there was a little kids baseball game going on out by the warning track in LF. Parents were sitting in the first few rows of the bleachers watching their kids play.

If you look way out in LF in this photo below, you’ll see some of it…

…is did they let you on the field?! That would be really cool.

Thanks for posting!

Seriously? It seems rather steep considering you can visit AT&T for $12ish, SafeCo & Camden Yards for about $9. Even the Yankees are cheaper at $20. Fenway’s $12.

It’s not something I think I would take it more than once.

tell me a bit more about this triangle building? I’m curious how it would add space for the Cubs clubhouse.

where are part 3 and 4?

I miss beautiful old Wrigley. Haven’t been there in 3 years. Miss it big time.

that’s me and Mrs. Cubnational

.. who was so very kind enough to actually take time off of his job on the South Side to hook up with Joy and I off Cicero to sell to me, at face value, his Upper Deck Box seats so we could see the Cubs play the Mets that day. What a kind and generous offer I’ve never forgotten!

FM, I don’t know how visible you want to be, so I’m keeping your ID to this, but you really made my vacation back home soooo complete.

See, although the Cubs lost that game (of course), I finally managed that day to snag, for the first time in my life, an actual ball that Jason Kendall fouled off right up into where we were sitting. That was the fulfillment of a lifelong dream — to actually catch a ball batted by a Cub .. It wasn’t a HR from Sosa, Bowa, or Buckner .. but it was a CUB!

I just stood up like I was expecting it when I saw it floating up and caught it with that old gnarly Ferguson Jenkins mitt I still have, the remnant of my infantile Cub passion from 1969 .. and I completely forgot the rest of the game. After years of trying to shag them where ever I could in the stands, FINALLY, I got a foul ball IN Wrigley.

I was so giddy the rest of that day, I was disgusting. I wouldn’t leave the upper deck after the Cubs were blown out of the water by the Mets until Joy snapped the pic below .. an excellent job

Bogie, you were right .. this is the stuff dreams are made of. And Al, thanks to BCB and the finest fans in the universe, you guys helped me .. Thanks for the memories and here’s to more to come! If I can sneak up to Chicago sometime, I’ll try.
