Wrigley Field - for baseball fans, this is an iconic place to visit. It was built in 1914 and is the second oldest active major league ballpark (after Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox). It is known for its ivy-covered brick outfield wall, the red marquee over the main entrance (see pics below), and a hand-turned score board.
Joel & I went to a Cubs game the last night we were in Chicago. It was a great way to end our trip!

We proudly wore our Tigers gear to the Cubs game!
We had great seats - straight up from first base
The ivy-covered wall in the outfield and hand-turned scoreboard
There are privately-owned buildings just beyond the outfield and these buildings sell tickets to watch Cubs games from their rooftops
The field all lit up at night
After the game was over, we walked down to the first row of seats to get an up-close view of the field
The Cubs played the L.A. Dodgers that night and won the game! After the game was over, everyone sang a song called "Go Cubs Go." The chorus has quite a catchy tune, you can hear it at the start of this video:
Go Cubs go
Go Cubs go
Hey Chicago what do you say
The Cubs are gonna win today
