where did the cubs play before wrigley field
Wrigley Field In late 1915, Weeghman's Federal League folded. The resourceful Weeghman formed a syndicate including the chewing gum manufacturer William Wrigley Jr. to buy the Chicago Cubs from Charles P. Taft for about $500,000.[8] Weeghman immediately moved the Cubs from the dilapidated West Side Grounds to his two-year-old park.
