Im a tourist so i want to see different places i was there once this year so what is the beauty in this stadium? Dont be offended with my remarks, because your country when the delegates arrive in other country said you have freedom of speech and that americans are friendly. Is that true or only a propaganda? But " to see is to believe" and i saw what i saw. What other beautiful places here in America i should go and see?

A lot of the perception of beauty in Wrigley Field is because of tradition and nostalgia for times gone by. The majority of major league ballparks now are modern and sterile, with steel and concrete and electronic scoreboards. Wrigley Field was built in 1914, it has beautiful brick walls covered with ivy, and the scoreboard is still operated manually. It's sort of living history. And despite the fact that the Chicago Cubs have not won a World Series since 1908, before they even began to play at Wrigley, they have some of the most loyal fans in baseball. So the beauty of Wrigley Field is not so much in the physical park as it is in what it represents emotionally.
As far as beautiful places to see in the United States, it depends on what you consider beautiful. For me, the beauty and magnificence of nature would be much more interesting than seeing cities. I live near San Francisco, and there is a lot to do and see there; no matter what country you are from, I am sure you have seen photos of the Golden Gate Bridge. But I would suggest that you explore some of the National Parks like Yosemite, Yellowstone, and the Grand Canyon, to name a few. You can get lots of information online about these and other National Parks.
And yes, our Constitution does give us freedom of speech. You will find that some people believe that that means you can be as rude and insulting as you want, but you will find badly behaved people in all parts of the world. As a general rule, Americans are friendly and happy to be helpful to others, but again, you will find unpleasant people as well.
Enjoy your travels!

In terms of "beauty," Wrigley Field is pretty low on the list of things America has to offer, although it's one of the most beautiful stadiums in our country. If you want real beauty, go to Yosemite, the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, Niagara Falls or any other National Park. Those places will take your breath away. Wrigley Field is considered one of the jewels of American sports because it is very historical and ranks behind only Fenway Park in Boston as the oldest stadium still in use in America. Aside from the age of the park, one of the many reasons people call it beautiful is because of the ivy covered outfield fence which is completely unique to American stadiums... The atmosphere is also a big reason people love Wrigley -- go to a game there when the Cubs are playing well and you'll be hard pressed to find a more passionate group of fans anywhere in America.

It is beautiful because it is nostalgic. It makes people see what it used to be like 100 years ago. Yes it is old but still beautiful.

I think it is the Budweiser sign on the house beyond Wrigley or is it the chewing gum
