Monuments and Tributes at Wrigley Field

Champions Gate is located at the western entrance to Gallagher Way. The monument honors the Cubs’ 1907, 1908 and 2016 World Series championship teams, with each title year displayed across the archway. A bronze World Championships medallion sits above, framed by bronze ivy inspired by one of Wrigley Field’s most iconic features.

Commemorative plaques recognize the players and managers behind each championship and share the stories of the teams’ historic achievements, including the end of the Cubs’ 108-year title drought in 2016. Space has been reserved for future plaques, so generations of Cubs champions can be added to the monument.

The Founders’ Clock serves as a welcoming landmark for residents, visitors and fans while enriching the year-round experience in and around Wrigley Field. Named after the Cubs being a founding member of the National League, the clock reflects the organization’s enduring commitment to the community it has called home for generations.

A Cubs bear within the iconic “C” logo tops the clock, while four medallions showcase the evolution of the team’s branding. The polished black granite base tells the story of Cubs baseball across four eras, highlighting key moments, players, championships and milestones, from the franchise’s early years through the 2016 World Series championship and the modern era.
