There are few venues in sports as universally recognizable as Wrigley Field, and few as unique. From the ivy-covered outfield walls to the bathroom troughs and cramped clubhouses, Wrigley is about as unique as stadiums come. Sure, maybe winning baseball hasn’t been a regular occurrence at Wrigley, but so what? Who cares if the Cubs have never won a clinching playoff game in the stadium, or any playoff game there in more than 10 years?
