Cubs vs. St. Louis Cardinals (Independence Day)

Wrigley Field · Lakeview

About This Event

The Cubs have now made this an actual tradition — hosting their oldest rival on July 4th for the second summer running. It's the finale of a 4-game set, and there's no more Chicago way to spend the holiday than bleachers, a hot dog, and the Cardinals in town.
