Wrigley Field is a baseball park located on the North Side of Chicago, Illinois. It is the home of the 2016 World Series winning Chicago Cubs. The Cubs played their first home game there in 1916 on April 20, defeating the Cincinnati Reds. Chewing gum magnate William Wrigley Jr. acquired complete control of the Cubs by 1921. Wrigley Field is known for its ivy-covered brick outfield wall, the iconic red marquee over the main entrance, the hand-turned scoreboard, and for being the last major league park to have lights installed for play after dark, in 1988.
