Wrigley Field Rooftop Seats - a photo on Flickriver

            These are the rooftop seats accross the street from Wrigley Field which is home to the Chicago Cubs.

Watching baseball from the rooftops date back to when the stadium was built.  People would come out of their apartment, go to the roof and watch the game for free.  Around 1990, the owners of the apartments started building bleechers on the top of their buildings and sold tickets.  After court battles and attempts by the Chicago Cubs to stop these salings of tickets, they settled on an agreement where the Chicago Cubs would receive a percentage of money for these tickets.
