====Wrigley Field==== [[File:Saveferris-wrigleyfield.jpg|thumb|alt=Wrigley Field at night lit up to say 'Save Ferris'|''Ferris Bueller'' Night at Wrigley Field, October 1, 2011]] [[Wrigley Field]] is featured in two interwoven and consecutive scenes. In the first scene, Rooney is looking for Ferris at a pizza joint while [[Harry Caray]]'s voice announces the action of a ballgame that is being shown on TV. From the play-by-play descriptions, the uniforms, and the player numbers, this game has been identified as the June 5, 1985, game between the [[1985 Atlanta Braves season|Atlanta Braves]] and the [[1985 Chicago Cubs season|Chicago Cubs]].<ref name="Larry Granillo" /><ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.avclub.com/article/ferris-buellers-actual-day-was-30-years-ago-today-220465 |title=Ferris Bueller's actual day off was 30 years ago today |first=Annie |last=Zaleski |date=2015-06-05 |access-date=2015-06-05 |newspaper=[[The A.V.

Ferris flexes his hand in pain after supposedly catching the foul ball. During this scene, the characters enjoy the game and joke about what they would be doing if they had played by the rules. All these "in the park" shots, including the one from the previous scene where Ferris catches the foul ball on TV, were filmed on September 24, 1985, at a game between the [[1985 Montreal Expos season|Montreal Expos]] and the Cubs. During the [[1985 Major League Baseball season|1985 season]], the Braves and the Expos both wore powder blue uniforms during their road games so, with seamless editing by Hirsch, it is difficult to distinguish that the game being seen and described in the pizza joint is not only a different game but also a different Cubs' opponent than the one filmed inside the stadium.<ref>{{cite web |first=Larry |last=Granillo |title=Ferris Bueller Follow-up |url=http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=12899 |publisher=Baseball Prospectus |date=2011-02-08 |access-date=2011-02-10 |archive-date=February 12, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110212144424/http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=12899 |url-status=live}}</ref> On October 1, 2011, Wrigley Field celebrated the 25th anniversary of the film by showing it on three giant screens on the infield.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.espn.com/chicago/mlb/story/_/id/7048417/ferris-bueller-returns-wrigley-field |title=Ferris Bueller returns to Wrigley Field |publisher=ESPN |date=October 1, 2011 |access-date=July 19, 2014 |archive-date=August 8, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140808143714/http://espn.go.com/chicago/mlb/story/_/id/7048417/ferris-bueller-returns-wrigley-field |url-status=live}}</ref>
