This long love story began in 1914 with the construction of Wrigley Field in Chicago, where its headquarters are located. Formerly called Weighman Park, named after the owner of the initial land, then Cubs Park (1920–26), the enclosure has a capacity of 25,649 seats and contains 63 boxes for the wealthy. It is one of the oldest and most emblematic of Major League Baseball, the major baseball competition in the United States introduced in 1876. Located in the Lakeview area, the campus has become a favorite ground for the Chicago Cubs team over the years.

Baseball, Football, Hockey Sports

The Chicago Cubs have been playing at Wrigley Field virtually since their professional debut in the late 19th century. But they are not the only ones who have made this stadium their base. In fact, the barn also hosted matches for the Chicago Bears of the NFL (National Football League), the championship that followed the United States being punctuated by the Super Bowl. This team played all of its home games between 1921 and 1970, before moving to Soldier Field. Wrigley Field is also home to US college football and hockey games. We can also note the organization of ski jumping competitions (1944) and several boxing matches.
