Finding Ferris Bueller’s seat at Wrigley Field 40 years later

Date:

Forty years ago today, Ferris Bueller, Cameron Frye and Sloane Peterson took their seats in left field at Wrigley Field while playing hooky from school for a day.

How do we know the scene from the Cubs game in the 1986 movie “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” occurred June 5, 1985? Well, that riddle was solved by some fantastic detective work from Baseball Prospectus’ Larry Granillo in 2011.
