History & Context

Wrigley Field History Wrigley Field is a historic baseball stadium located in Chicago, Illinois. It is the home of the Chicago Cubs, one of the oldest and most storied teams in Major League Baseball (MLB). Here is a brief overview of Wrigley Field's history: Wrigley Field was originally built in 1914 as Weeghman Park for the Chicago Whales, a team in the Federal League, a now-defunct third major league. The park was designed by architect Zachary Taylor Davis and had a capacity of around 14,000 fans. After the Federal League folded, the Chicago Cubs purchased the ballpark and moved in for the 1916 season. The park was renamed Cubs Park. In 1926, chewing gum magnate William Wrigley Jr. purchased the Cubs and renamed the park Wrigley Field in his own honor. In 1937, Wrigley Field became the last major league ballpark to install lights for night games.
