Lore & Background

The Cubs' 2025 season is yet to be played, so no results can be confirmed. Historically, the team has a storied past at Wrigley Field, including their 2016 World Series championship.

In Their Own Story

On October 13, 2015, the Cubs clinched a playoff series at home for the first time in franchise history with a 6–4 victory over the Padres in game four of the NLDS. Anthony Rizzo hit the series-winning home run in the sixth inning, while Kyle Schwarber's seventh-inning shot landed on top of the right-field scoreboard and was encased in plexiglass until its removal in 2016. Earlier that year, on May 26, Kris Bryant became the first player to hit the new left-field video screen with a 477-foot home run. The Ricketts family launched the $575 million "1060 Project" renovation in 2013 after acquiring the team in 2009, adding Jumbotrons and expanding bleachers while restoring historic elements like Ludowici terra cotta roofing. In July 2022, the U.S. government filed a lawsuit alleging ADA violations regarding wheelchair seating during these renovations.
