Game On! Wrigley Field Gets Ready for Opening Day
The jerseys have been cleaned, the field has been mowed, the ivy has been watered, which can only mean one thing: It’s Opening Day at Wrigley Field. April 9 marks the first 2018 home game for the Chicago Cubs as they take on the Pittsburgh Pirates at the Friendly Confines. Beyond the game, there are plenty of additional ways to enjoy the season with more new features coming to the grounds. Park at Wrigley continues to be a main draw, acting as the ballpark’s “backyard” with more outdoor space, food and beverage options, large screen TVs and vendors that are available to fans before, during and after innings. This green space also hosts movie nights, a farmers’ market and other various events throughout the season. Get the full schedule at www.parkatwrigley.com.
