The Chicago Cubs and the Peoria Chiefs have announced that the Chiefs will play a regular season game at Chicago’s famous Wrigley Field when they host the Kane County Cougars on Tuesday, July 29th at 7:05 pm. This will be the first time in the Chiefs’ 26-year franchise history that they will play in a Major League facility, and it is believed to be the first minor league contest to take place at Wrigley in the ballpark’s 94-year history.
Yes. I’m pretty sure someone sat down, thought about what I specfically would like to see, and invented this game. That’s the only reasonable explanation.
Though the idea that I might be rooting against a Cubs team while sitting in Wrigley is a bit hard to grasp. I think I’ll just root for the GAME OF BASEBALL
I actually think they’ll draw 30,000, just because of the low ticket prices and the sure to be nice July night. Though I guess it depends on how many tickets they put on sale – either they’re not putting them all, or the VIP season ticket people are getting theirs already. I’d be fine if it was just me and five other people if it meant I could get tickets easily tomorrow morning.
This probably should be an annual thing, though I could see them rotating with Iowa (and I’d go see that too.)
