When I saw this picture, I was startled at the sight of outfield bleachers. Then I realized that these had to have been temporary bleachers set up just for this event.
Given how tailored the bleachers are for the stadium, I assume these must have been part of Wrigley's equipment, to be used as needed for non-baseball events such as this. Since this event occurred in August, it would have to have been during an Angels road trip. I bet the outfield was pretty chewed up when the next home stand began!
Edit: Upon reading what I posted, I see I forgot to mention that there actually were some bleachers in right/right center field. What startled me was bleachers all the way around.
