Why is the lighting at Wrigley Field so dim?

It’s been like this since they started playing night games. I’ve never heard the reason. Any of you Cubs fans have insight?

No outfield lights. Ive been to Coors and Wrigley this year and the difference in person is very noticable

Turn up the brightness on your TV. Should be under settings.

I was being flip. Yeah, maybe a bit. You can see shadows on the fielders but it's not too bad.

Cash scheme to protect the rooftop viewers?

Does the neighborhood have something to do with it?

City of Chicago has some pretty strict rules about night games at Wrigley. Probably has something to do with that.

They might block or obstruct the rooftop views, but not sure how they’d blind them unlike the lights around the infield.

I lived near there right before the lights.
I think the neighborhood objected to turning night to day.
I infer from.all that a reduced effect was required.

They try to keep that stadium as old and original as possible. They dont have shitloads of lights all over. Very few of them and i like the older park.
I dont think they even played a night game there until the late 80's.
Its a great stadium though and I hope they leave it alone

I don't think it has anything to do with the rooftops because the cubs didn't own them back in the day. Though they did have a contract with the rooftop owners. I think it was probably determined they were fine as is.
But now they're dim because the team can't score any goddamn runs and the fricking season is over. So that's an answer too.
