Wrigley Field, Chicago (May 2004 / September 2005)

 
One of the most unique things about Wrigley is the ivy on the outfield walls.  Its in fair play and many times balls have been "lost" in the ivy for a ground-rule double.

The bleachers (pictured) are the ones with the crazy fans that throw back homerun balls hit by the opposing team. 

While at the park you don't forget you are in the middle of the third largest city in the nation.  The skyline runs up past the park on the lakefront, CTA trains clamor by every couple of minutes, and planes on approach to O'Hare are constantly cruising by.

A little-known fact about the hand-operated scoreboard is that it has never been hit with a batted ball.
