Wrigley Field Prepares for the Winter Classic - Photos

Sunday December 28, 2008
Wrigley Field hosts Winter ClassicI was surprised by how excited I felt for the Winter Classic when I wandered by Wrigley Field this afternoon. I suppose it has a little something to do with seeing an old friend learn a new trick.

I snapped this photo through the right field wall.

As you can kind of make out, the length of the hockey rink will run roughly between first and third base.

It's a bit of a distance from the bleachers. But, as one worker advised, if it's open admission to the bleachers, get in center field up high so you can see.

See more photos of Wrigley Field preparing for the Winter Classic, including better views of the entire rink's placement in the field.

Go Cubbies! I mean, if they can’t even win a hockey game, then, er, wait. Maybe I have the concept wrong. Great photo, in any case!
