How many people does wrigley field hold?

What we found is that Wrigley Field has a seating capacity of 41,160.

Wrigley Field, which was built in 1914, is the second-oldest ballpark in the majors behind Boston's Fenway Park (1912).

Wrigley Field has been the site of numerous construction projects since Tribune Company purchased the Cubs in 1981.

New office space was created and old offices refurbished in the administrative area behind home plate in 1981-1982, while the ticket office was built directly behind home plate in 1983.

During the winter of 1984, a new home clubhouse was completed under the third base stands. The visitors' clubhouse was renovated in 1990.

In 1989, private boxes were constructed on the mezzanine level, formerly occupied by the press box and broadcasting booths. The press box and broadcasting booths were constructed in the upper deck directly behind home plate. Other improvements included a food court in the upper deck.

Following renovations in 1994 and 1995, there are now 63 private boxes.

An elevator was added to the third base concourse in 1996.

Following the 2005 season, the Cubs expanded the bleachers, adding a restaurant in the batter's eye and a window to Sheffield Avenue in right field.

It’s been 100 years since this ballpark became Wrigley Field in 1926. It was home to Chicago's Federal League team before the Cubs played the first National League game there on April 20, 1916. A bear cub was in attendance that day to see the Cubs beat the Cincinnati Reds 7-6 in 11 innings.
