When it comes to the Chicago Cubs Rooftops, our Wrigleyville Rooftops are full of history and tradition and make up a big part of the overall special feeling one gets when they enter the “friendly confines” of Wrigley Field.

1032 Waveland is probably the most recognizable Chicago Cubs Rooftop. Built in 1921, the building is a fixture of the Wrigley Field experience. The yellow brick building is a short distance behind the left field bleachers. So close in fact that on May 11, 2000, Glenallen Hill of the Chicago Cubs, hit a spectacular home run that landed on top of the rooftop. This was the only time in the history of Wrigley Field that any home run ball has landed on a Chicago Cubs rooftop. Many batters including Dave Kingman have broken the windows at the Waveland rooftop during batting practice. During one famous batting practice session in 2003, Barry Bonds hit a monster blast that broke the third floor window at 3643-45 N. Sheffield. The Bonds’ blast was featured on ESPN’s Sportscenter program that evening.

Thousands of fans gathered in front of the Waveland rooftop to have the opportunity to catch Sammy Sosa’s 500th home run in 2003.

During one episode of the Jay Leno show in 1998, Bob Costas and Leno did a skit on top of 3643 N. Sheffield.

Numerous commercials, television and Hollywood movies have filmed from our rooftops.

When ESPN broadcasts Chicago Cubs game, you can be sure that a camera is sent up to our rooftops because of our amazing views of Wrigley Field.

During the summer of 1991, a wedding took place on the rooftop at 3643 N. Sheffield during a Cubs game. Harry Caray and WGN made the wedding a big part of the broadcast.

Tom Browning, a pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds, knew where to get the best view of the game. During a Chicago Cubs vs. Reds game in 1993, Browning left Wrigley Field in the 4th inning and came to the top of 3643 N. Sheffield. He sat on the front of the rooftop railing and waved to the fans. Browning received a huge applause from the crowd inside Wrigley Field. Browning’s rooftop excursion made national headlines and he has a chapter devoted to it in an autobiographical book he wrote.

For the 2006 season, 3609 N. Sheffield became the latest Chicago Cubs rooftop. This building features amazing views inside Wrigley Field with a height of 61 feet from Sheffield Avenue. Along with the up front views of the Chicago Cubs game, the building features a climate controlled skybox level where guests can get out of the sun or rain and relax in front of numerous plasma televisions. Elevators are available to drop you off at the skybox or rooftop levels.
