World Series Architecture


Neat little Chicago Tribune article here comparing the history/architecture of the 2 World Series stadiums -- the Fields of Wrigley and Progressive:


Regarding Progressive Field, home of the Cleveland Indians:

"The downtown ballpark is by no means Wrigley Redux, but you still sense Wrigley's influence in its graceful Erector Set-like design, just as you feel Chicago's influence elsewhere in the heart of Cleveland. It is a statement of fact, not an exercise in civic boosterism, to say that Cleveland is one of many American cities where Chicago's architects have left a lasting mark."

I'm no architect, but the comparison of the 2 is very interesting.

Out for now......
