Description
Photograph of an aerial view of Wrigley Field, ca.1940. A baseball diamond sits in the center of the image underneath a shadow from the stadium surrounding it. An American flag being supported by four lines of people can be seen below the diamond. A group of people stand in rows to the left of the flag while the lower levels of the stadium are visibly full. A clock tower sits behind the stadium with the time at approximately 2:40 in the afternoon. The roofs of houses can be seen in the foreground and background while cars are parked along the left and right sides of the stadium.
