Dr. Wrigley-Field has never been to a baseball stadium. She said that she wanted to be on the scorecard, reach out to the Cubs and sort of work it out with them.
The name is a coincidence. They didn't want to change their last name because they were worried that they would set her up to be teased. At the age of 7, Elizabeth decided she wanted to go by both. When her family moved to New York, her parents registered her in the school system with a different last name. She legally changed her name to Wrigley-Field when she was 20.
She said she loved having the name. They didn't take into account how much fun it would be to have this name.
Wrigley-Field, a sociologist at the University of Minnesota, said that she gets the least reaction to it in Chicago.
She said that a lot of people in Chicago think she changed her name.
It's a great conversation starter, but a lot of people think she's sick of being asked about it. She says that it is an easy way to have fun with strangers and has led to some fun encounters with random people.
She said that people are mostly into it.
Wrigley-Field thinks that her daughter's last name will make her first visit to Wrigley Field even more special, because she will have two generations of Wrigley-Fields at the park.
Is she a Cubs fan?
She said that she is more of a fan of the stadium.
Elizabeth may have one of the last ballpark names that doesn't sound completely and totally ridiculous. I can't imagine a Mary American- Family-Field or a John Minute-Maid-Park in the world.
