"[F]or those who can't get a ticket to Wrigley – or prefer not to – there are always the Wrigley rooftops. The flat-roofed apartment buildings behind the outfield have been there as long as Wrigley Field itself. Unlike some other big-league ballparks that go out of their way to block the view for nonpaying fans, Wrigley Field embraced the concept. What started as a few apartment-dwellers having a barbeque has expanded to include bleacher seats, open bars, and lots of food. The building owners have agreed to split the profits with the Cubs organization, and those apartment seats are now considered Wrigley Field Part 2 – almost like having a seat in the upper (and over) deck."
