Chicago’s criminal reputation also intrigues visitors. Despite Chicago’s infamous criminals and housing projects, Chicago has become an attractive tourist destination because of its architecture and sports. Wrigley Field symbolizes Chicago and its historic architecture. In the article “Architecture View; Wrigley Field: A Baseball Park That Radiates Joy” by Paul Goldberger, Goldberger wrote about Wrigley Field’s importance and its power to spread happiness. It was seen that Chicago’s Wrigley Field was and still is significant when Goldberger wrote “For this extraordinary baseball park, this amiable pile of steel and bricks and concrete that despite careful maintenance still shows every one of its 74 years, seems to radiate more joy than all the domed stadiums of the last generation put together,” (Goldberger).

Every stadium has its own beautiful characteristics which one can compare each new stadium they may visit to. As you sit in historic, iconic Fenway Park, you stare at the “Green Monster” in left field. You ponder how it is possible to hit a ball that high and far over the wall for it to be a homerun. While in Fenway, you may compare it with Coors Field, where the balls seem to jump off the bat due to the high altitude and thin air. On the other hand, you think of Angel Stadium and the rocks in…
