===Writing on the Wall=== During the 2016 postseason, someone wrote a message in chalk on the outer brick wall of the stadium along Waveland and Sheffield avenues. This started a chain reaction and more fans began to write their own messages on the wall. The messages were anything from words of support expressed towards the team or just a name. Chalk covered a majority of the wall, to point where fans had to bring step ladders in order to reach upper spaces for their message.<ref>{{cite news |title=Writing on the Wrigley Wall: Latest Way to Celebrate Cubs' World Series Title|first=Paul|last=Sullivan|url=http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/columnists/ct-sullivan-wrigley-field-wall-spt-1107-20161106-column.html|newspaper=[[Chicago Tribune]]|date=November 6, 2016|access-date=May 17, 2017|language=en-US}}</ref> The Cubs themselves encouraged the event by supplying chalk and adding extra security.<ref>{{cite news |title=Writing On Wrigley Field's Walls|first=Roger|last=Wright|url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/roger-wright/writing-on-wrigley-fields_b_12776246.html|work=[[HuffPost|The Huffington Post]]|date=November 2, 2016|access-date=May 17, 2017}}</ref> The event gained both local and national attention, receiving coverage from [[Fox Sports]] and ''[[The Boston Globe]]''.<ref>{{cite web |title=Cubs Fans Write Heartwarming Messages on Wrigley Field's Brick Walls|first=Dieter|last=Kurtenbach|url=http://www.foxsports.com/mlb/gallery/cubs-fans-chalk-wrigley-field-photos-write-103116|work=[[Fox Sports]]|date=November 3, 2016|access-date=May 17, 2017|language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Cubs Fans Write Their Names in Chalk on Brick Wall of Wrigley Field|url=https://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/redsox/2016/11/03/cubs-fans-write-their-names-chalk-brick-wall-wrigley-field/rzG8cwKpGo3Rgciu5mRgsK/story.html|newspaper=[[The Boston Globe]]|agency=[[Associated Press]]|date=November 3, 2016|access-date=May 17, 2017}}</ref>
