I remember seeing Nate Colbert and Cito Gaston and other members of the Padres sitting on those very same steps minus that tarp..in a rain delay talking with the Wrigley faithful back in the seventies..When Wrigley was falling apart!
Yes....back in the mid 1960s, we attended a Dodger game at Wrigley and I remember Frank Howard being visible goiing up and down some steps during a rain delay......and there was only a chain link fence separating the fans and those steps.
To think about the names that have walked that hall. Aaron, Mays, Clemente, Mathews, Rose, Ruth, Gehrig, McCovey, Musial, Robinson, Mantle, Kaline, Williams, DiMaggio, Griffey, Henderson. Jesus man. The list goes on and on. Between visiting NL teams, World Series, and all-star games that tunnel has seen most of the greatest players in history.
I thought it was actually neat. 40 - 45 second walk without all the stops....don't worry Jim they can install a moving walkway for you during the next renovations. ;-)
Yes and no, this video is from 2015. The dugouts were completely replaced prior to the 2016 season. The visitors clubhouse and the right field corner of Wrigley is the most original and untouched part of the ballpark. They expanded the visitor clubhouse since the original one was very small, but they kept much of it in the same location because of the history the space held. You still need to trek to it, but I think their are less twists and turns now. Also more convenient bathrooms and hitting cages located right behind the new dugouts.
While I greatly appreciate this tour, the Cubs have been playing in Wrigley since 1916, when in my lifetime alone, the Reds have played in three different facilities. Go ahead and hate Wrigley all you want to ... but to us Cubs fans it's home, and after all the recent improvements to it, 1060 W. Addison will remain our home for decades to come.
It's complicated. Wrigley and Fenway are the most beloved, but easily the worst places objectively to watch a game- beams, iron seats, low decks that hide fly balls, tight concourses, etc. But I wish we had more of the old jewelboxes still in use. It's ridiculous to me that a stadium should only have 25-30 years of life. The continuity of memories held by the old buildings can't be replaced.
I've seen better little league visitor's locker rooms, what a joke!!! When the Brewers beat them last year in the one game playoff, inside the locker room was absolutely horrible. How could MLB allow them to have such a sh___y locker room. I guess it's better than their baseball team the Cubbies😂😂😂😂😂😂
The stadium was built before cars were widespread. They could knock it down and destroy the history like everyone has except the red sox and cubs. They choose to renovate this old stadium to keep it alive.
Not a Cubs fan but I'd rather be in the same room as Babe Ruth / Lou Gehrig in 1932, Vince Lombardi in the 1960s, every NL Hall of Famer (& some AL) and every NFL hall of famer pre-1970 did than whatever your team has.
I remember years ago before the tarps seeing the visiting team crossing overhead. Kind of cool, actually.
If you're a visiting player, you can forget about taking a quick #2 between innings.
thats what the buckets are for
@@dash4800 then u holler for the bucket boy, I mean batboy

Many years ago before some renovations, Cubs players had to walk down into the left field corner to get to the clubhouse.
back in the old days, they had to walk up stairs in both directions from field to locker room.
And it was a lot farther back then too. The clubhouse was actually in Comiskey.

Wrigley was also home to the NFL Bears for 50 seasons. The visitor clubhouse housing decades of Packers, Vikings, Giants, Browns legends....
The Cubs "World Series" games? Lmao.
@@josephnickell6652, not sure what's funny?
@@thomasobrien5320 What's funny is the World Series games the Chubs have been in....
11 NL pennants is nothing to sneeze at.
That's typical at Wrigley Field having to walk 10 football fields just to get to the locker room lol

Does anyone know if the visiting clubhouse is still like this as of the 2021 season??

This is the way into John Malkovich's brain.
A far cry from the fancy Cubs home clubhouse.⚾️⚾️⚾️
This is why the Cubs lose so much. The other team gets on the field angry and ready to stomp the Cubs
@@michaelconnor5378So, what's your excuse??
Could you imagine having to shit and sprinting down that?

Not to mention the listed DMV address of one Elwood Blues...
@@alansmithee183 1060 W. Addison ... LOL!

Aww you sound salty that the Milwaukee Fart Brewers have never won a World Series 😂

Still better than Wrigley field north 🤫
how’s your World Series coming along? Asking for a friend…
Yeah you can say when they originally built Wrigley the clubhouses probably weren't even a thing yet.
