The Chicago Cubs have big dreams for Wrigleyville in the coming years. The Cubs will be in a “pardon our dust” situation for much of the next three years. But after that, they have their eyes on college football returning to Wrigley, as well as trying to host a bowl game. When the Yankees began hosting the Pinstripe Bowl, many thought it was a joke. Football in a baseball stadium? In the winter? But it’s become a hit–a cult classic–and the Cubs think Wrigley could offer the same experience.
The hope is that it will start with Northwestern hosting several games in the 2020 season.
