Wrigley Done Right: The Ultimate Rooftop Experience - Click for tickets

Wrigley Field Rooftops Directory

Welcome to TheCubdom.com's Wrigley Field Rooftop directory. (We are not an official site.) There are 17 buildings with rooftop views, where proprietors sell tickets to see the game. A few years ago, these rooftops entered into a revenue sharing program with the Cubs, and are now considered 'official Cubs rooftop partners.'


Aerial map of Wrigley Field and the Cubs Rooftop partners

The information found on this page has come mainly from the Cubs Rooftop business's websites and where indicated, directly from the Rooftops. The aerial 'map' above allows you to click on the rooftop building to go to the rooftop profile, or scroll down the page and read about them all. (Please note that I've updated this page as of June 2008, but you should check with the individual rooftops before relying on any of the information on this page.)

If you have questions, please shoot me an email. I try to respond to them all, even if it takes a week or two: byron@thecubdom.com.

Situated within the right field foul pole, straight out from the first base line, Wrigley Done Right provides a spectacular perspective and unobstructed view of legendary Wrigley Field.

The Rooftop:

Whether you relax on the bleacher seats, socialize at the shaded picnic tables, or hang out along the front row railing, you will have an amazing, memorable view of your Chicago Cubs. Enjoy your favorite ballpark foods, grilled to perfection by our master cooks, and drink beer, wine or your other favorite beverages to your heart's content. It's all included! Plus, surround sound speakers encompass the rooftop, so you can stay on every play with Pat & Ron's always hilarious call of the game.

The Clubhouse:

Should you need a break from the sun or some summer showers, duck into our spacious air-conditioned clubhouse, fully-equipped with a huge bar, plasma tvs, radio broadcast, and that same incredible, double-wide view of your Cubbies. (Even the bathrooms are equipped with plasmas.so you truly will never miss a pitch!)
