The Chicago Cubs stand out in the realm of sports for their unwavering commitment to tradition, and it’s more than just a penchant for nostalgia; it’s an addiction.
Embodying this devotion is the hallowed Wrigley Field, proudly celebrated as a national historic landmark. Stepping into this iconic ballpark is like stepping into a time machine, where spectators can feel the pulse of American history from the past ten decades.
At the heart of the Cubs’ tradition-laden atmosphere at Wrigley Field is the anthem “Go, Cubs, Go.” Crafted by folk singer Steve Goodman in 1984, this melody reverberates through the stadium after every Chicago home victory, weaving a sonic tapestry that resonates with fans.
