Wrigley Rooftops

Wrigley Rooftops are sixteen buildings with elevated seating platforms providing direct views into Wrigley Field baseball stadium across Waveland and Sheffield Avenues. The rooftops vary in size and layout, each offering different angles of the field with distinct seating arrangements and food and beverage options.

The residential buildings near Wrigley Field were built starting in 1914 and served for decades as informal gathering spots for baseball fans. In 2004, building owners reached an agreement with the Chicago Cubs that transformed these rooftops into commercial viewing venues.

Each rooftop maintains its own character and draws fans seeking a more social way to watch Cubs games with food and drinks. People gather here to experience the match together while feeling part of the neighborhood outside the stadium.

You need to reserve your spot in advance to visit these rooftop venues, which operate during all Cubs home games. It helps to book early since availability varies depending on which rooftop you choose and how many games are scheduled.

The agreement between building owners and the Chicago Cubs was an early solution to copyright disputes over viewing games from outside the stadium. This arrangement created a lasting partnership that gave fans a different way to experience Cubs matches.
