1) Wrigley Field (Chicago, IL) – It’s small, simple, and still outfitted with its famous outfield bleachers, but Wrigley Field in Chicago has a certain beloved allure that is unmatched. The Friendly Confines first opened on the North Side in 1914 under the original name of Weeghman Park, but the complete ownership of chewing gum tycoon William Wrigley, Jr. put forth the now-infamous Wrigley Field moniker in 1927.
There’s not much of a technological aesthetic to Wrigley (a digital scoreboard was just put in during the 2015 MLB season), but its withstanding tradition as the second-oldest ballpark in the majors is enough for any fan to make the trip at least once in their lifetime. It’ll cost a pretty penny to be on hand during a Cubbies game this year, however, with 2016 Cubs tickets on the secondary market currently averaging $172.42, the most expensive the team has posted since at least 2010.
