In most places, the clubs have taken steps to expand the bleachers or around, or even fences to block the view. Perhaps the most notorious of these was that of Shibe Park in Philadelphia, which has caused a rift between residents and the team never recovered. The Cubs themselves had built a high fence along the gardens in the West Side Park hide the field from flats whose back porches were right next the fence outside the stadium.
But at Wrigley was different. The roofs of residential buildings through Waveland and Sheffield, which before the date on which the stadium, were often filled with a reasonable number that the outdoor dining while enjoying the free game fans. The Cubs are tolerated in silence until the 1990s, when some owners of apartments began to build small sections of bleachers, and support people to watch games.

In 2003, he came on the screens that line the upper outer walls with opaque strips, to block the sight lines more outside. It's the thing nearest to a fence, even if he had seen Wrigley. Thus, measures are sometimes called "The Fence Spiteless" and "The Ivy Wall.

This led to meetings and a peaceful settlement between the parties. Owners buildings have agreed to share part of their profits with the Cubs and the Cubs obtained permission from the city to develop its own stadium bleachers along sidewalks and do a little more open construction area of the property to the west, bordered by Clark and Waveland, and close the rest of the avenue, seminar which was also on the property. The seats of the roof are actually part of the zone bleachers, although not included in the number of seats.

In the seventh inning of the first Ken Holtzman no-hitter, August 19, 1969, Hank Aaron of the Atlanta Braves a hammer that seemed went to Waveland, but the wind caught it just enough for left fielder Billy Williams to jump and trapped in "good".
With the wind, some tracks real tape measure at home have been affected by the muscular hitters. Sammy Sosa and Dave "Kong" Kingman smashed windows in buildings on Waveland Avenue. repeatedly. GLENALLA Hill put one on a roof. Batters occasional slug or later, the first line or two of the Cover-up "of the center-field bleachers. Sosa hit the roof of the house of the center-field camera on the fly during the Championship Series against Florida Marlins, some 450 meters.

No hitter beat the scoreboard in center field, but was hit by another type of ball: a golf ball, beat Sam Snead, using a two iron.
Regardless of the time, many fans gather in batting practice and games on Waveland Avenue, behind the garden left, and Sheffield Avenue, behind right field, for a chance to catch a ball to run home.
