ROOFTOPS IN 1945: Photos from Wrigley Field's earliest years show fans atop the adjacent buildings, though not on the built-out and up structures that exist today. Back when I was watching in the 1960s and 1970s you would sometimes see a few fans on those rooftops.
ROOFTOPS IN 2016: Now, the Rooftops are a real big business. A long-running conflict between the Cubs and the owners of the lucrative rooftop buildings has died down with the Ricketts family slowly purchasing many of the properties along Waveland and Sheffield.
