Cubs announce new outdoor space at Wrigley Field called "The Yard" |
CHICAGO – The Chicago Cubs today unveiled “The Yard,” a new outdoor space complete with five new semi-private rental spaces designed to help fans enjoy the excitement of the Budweiser Bleachers as if they were in their own backyard. The Yard offers a more intimate vibe with high-top seating, fully stocked coolers and a smaller premier experience not previously available at the ballpark.
“Fans often tell us that Wrigley Field is their summer home, so we wanted to create a space that feels like their own backyard,” said Cubs Senior Vice President of Ticketing Cale Vennum. “The Yard not only offers a cozy and intimate setting, but also addresses feedback we've received about creating bleacher options for smaller groups. The historic Budweiser Bleachers have a unique energy unlike anything in Major League Baseball. The Yard sits in the middle of the action but provides an elevated gameday experience in an all-inclusive and reserved space for a few friends or family members.” The Yard is located in the Budweiser Bleachers above the batter's eye in center field. The new rental spaces are available for groups starting at four guests, with a maximum capacity in the space of 50 total guests. Each rental includes an exclusive table with high-top seating, unlimited beer, seltzer, wine and nonalcoholic drinks from a private cooler, and a ballpark meal for each guest with the option to select a Small Cheval burger, Vienna Beef hot dog or vegetarian option. The Yard provides the iconic bleacher view of Wrigley Field and is accessible up to 90 minutes before first pitch through the end of the game. The Yard is the latest rental offering to join the Budweiser Bleachers. The Hornitos Hacienda in the front row of the bleachers above the left field wall is available for 15-50 guests, and the Budweiser Patio, down the right field line under the video board, is available for groups of 50, 100 or 150 guests.
