Wrigley Field is not a Corporate Sponsored Ballpark
After speaking with several Chicagoians about the naming of the bleachers by Bud Light I had to post this.
Wrigley Field is not named after the Wrigley Gum Company. The company didn't pay for the naming rights like AT&T, or U.S. Celluar. It is in fact named to hornor William Wrigley Jr. (1861-1932) who did run the gum company, but also owned the Cubs.
