Wrigley's New Field

For baseball enthusiasts, the team itself is not the only thing that fans are interested in experiencing- it’s the baseball park that has a strong allure as well. One of America’s most oldest and appreciated baseball parks is Wrigley Field. Second to only Fenway Park in age, Wrigley Field
has an incredible history that all baseball enthusiasts find interesting and are passionate about.


Wrigley Field has been home to the Cubs since 1916. Its name comes from William Wrigley Jr, not only the baseball maven, but also of Wrigley gum fame. While the field has gone through many innovations over the last few decades including adding lights to play night games in 1988, this year the innovation has been a new field. After years of using a field that has been deteriorated by concerts, games and other events, Wrigley Field will undergo new turf.


You might think that all fields are created equal, but with competition so fierce and the cost of winning extremely high, new turf at Wrigley Field
might just be what the Cubs needs to put new mojo into their life. A new field can have substantial benefits to the team and Smithsonian Magazine has an extremely interesting article that every baseball enthusiast is sure to enjoy.
