Cougars vs. Chiefs At
Wrigley Field - 07/29/2008 at 7:05 pm
The Kane County Cougars and Peoria Chiefs
will play a regular season Midwest League
game at Wrigley Field on Tuesday, July 29 at
7:05 p.m. The game is believed to be the
first minor league contest in the ballpark’s
94-year history.
The Peoria Chiefs, managed by former Cub and
Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg, will be the
home team for July’s game.
Tickets will be available Friday May 2nd at
9 a.m. on
www.cubs.com and will range from $10 for
Terrace Reserved seats, Upper Deck Reserved
seats and the general admission bleachers;
$12 for terrace box seats; and $15 for club
and field box seats, bleacher box seats and
upper deck box seats. A total of 280
designated premium seats, priced from
$25-$30, will also be available as part of
the on-sale event.
“The Kane County Cougars are thrilled to be
a part of history at Wrigley Field and are
thankful to both the Cubs and Chiefs
organizations for this historic event,”
Cougars General Manager Jeff Sedivy said.
“This game will be a tremendous experience
for our fans, front office staff, and
especially our players and coaches.”
As the only major-league affiliated team in
the Chicagoland area, the Cougars have
produced nearly 100 major leaguers,
including Cubs pitcher Ryan Dempster, who
played for Kane County in 1996.
“What an opportunity for the young guys at
Kane County to come out here and play a
game,” Dempster said. “I remember going to
Kane County and I thought it was the
greatest park that I ever played at in the
minor leagues.”
Those attending this first-of-its-kind event
at Wrigley Field will have the opportunity
to enjoy a number of traditional minor
league ballpark promotions and activities.
Fans will also be entertained between
innings by Kane County mascot Ozzie T.
Cougar and Peoria mascot Homer.
