Wrigley Field has been named a National Historic Landmark to recognize “the significant role the ballpark
has played in the city of Chicago and the history of professional sports.”
Thursday’s announcement by the U.S. Department of the Interior also automatically places the ballpark
on the National Register of Historic Places. Wrigley has been eligible for that list since 1987.
The original Yankee Stadium in New York and Tigers Stadium in Detroit both were designated as
National Historic Landmarks, only to be demolished.
