“The press box at Wrigley Field in Chicago is an extended narrow shed, two rows deep, that is precariously bolted to the iron rafters just underneath the park's second deck. To gain access, one must climb a steeply angled ramp and clamber down a little starboard companionway, guarded at its foot by a uniformed minion and then proceed giddily along a catwalk that hangs directly above the tiered, circling rows of seats and spectators behind home plate.” LittlesTwoHomeBehindsFeetFieldsGainsPressesBoxesAccessParksSeatsClimbsIronChicagoPlatesShedSpectatorsDeckGuardedRampMinionsCatwalkRaftersHome PlateWrigley Field Book:Season Ticket Source: Season Ticket
