How weather plays at Wrigley Field
Wrigley Field is open-air, so wind, temperature, humidity and rain are all live factors every game. Wrigley Field sits at 595 feet, a modest elevation where wind and temperature matter more than air density. Home plate faces northeast toward center field (bearing 37°), so a wind out of the southwest blows straight out to center at Wrigley Field, and the reverse knocks fly balls down. The fences run 355′ down the left line, 400′ to center and 353′ to right — the short right field corner (353′) is where a helping wind turns warning-track contact into damage. Park notes: Ivy-covered outfield walls; Rooftop seating on Waveland/Sheffield; Manual scoreboard in CF.
