The name was subsequently renamed to Wrigley Field in 1926, as it is called today.
  • Wrigley Field is a baseball stadium in Chicago, in the state of Illinois in the United States. The stadium is mentioned in the Forever Knight episode "Dark Knight". Nick Knight has gone to the Raven to consult Janette; and, since it is the first time the two have met in years, she asks him about his recent life, before his move to Toronto. He says that he moved from Chicago because it was time, but intimates that he might have had second thoughts if he had realized that they were going to install lights in Wrigley Field. This suggests that Nick is a baseball fan, generally frustrated by the fact that he cannot attend games that are held in daytime.
