Cubs First Night Game 8-8-88



Since this is the first post on my Wrigley Field blog, what better way to start things than a photograph taken during the Cubs first name game at Wrigley Field.

This is a classic Wrigley Field photo taken before the start of the Chicago Cubs first night game which took place on 8/8/88. There was much controversy prior to this day whether or not the Chicago Cubs should install lights inside the stadium.

The photo was actually taken from the rooftop of the Cubby Bear Bar & Restaurant. The photo features the Cubs Marquee with the words, "WELCOME TO OPENING NIGHT".

Unfortunately I never got to see any of the game, but I will never forget that night after taking this photo.
