Wrigley Returns | The Journey Back to 100% Capacity at the Friendly Confines

On June 11, 2021, Wrigley Field returned to 100% capacity. This feature follows the stories of Cubs manager David Ross, season ticket holder Carol Haddon, guest services ambassador Margie Genovese and Murphy's GM Freddy Fagenholz. They share what 2020 and the pandemic season was like for them and their emotions ahead of Wrigley Field and the neighborhood surrounding the ballpark returning to full capacity.
"They are the reason why we come out and play this game. When they are rooting us on and cheering, you feel like you've got 40,000 people that have got your back. They're pulling for you, they're in the moments with you, they're in every pitch and grinding. Once you experience this game even at its highest level without fans, you realize how important fans are really fast." - David Ross
The first weekend back at full capacity, the Cubs swept the rival Cardinals in front of the best fans in baseball.

I was at this game! The crowd was amazing! Watching Rizzo hit a homer on the 14th pitch of the AB was one of the coolest baseball moments I’ve ever seen!

[@rasputinfilms8540]

I was there to it was cool

[@jameswebb9738]

I love Wrigley Field! The place has a vibe like no other ballpark. I lived in Chicago from 64-69 and have been a lifelong Cubs fan since then. My Dad used to take me to Wednesday games as often as he could. I remember watching Ernie Banks, Billy Williams, Fergie Jenkins, and all the great other players in that era. I can’t tell you how excited and proud and moved I was for the WS win in 2016. Brought me to tears.

[@michaelkamboures9019]

I was there at that game and it was absolutely amazing! Thank you Cubs for an exciting game that was definitely worth it! Proud to be one of those 35,000 fans there for Opening Day 2.0!

[@rasputinfilms8540]

I was there too

[@christianfoote7448]

OMG I remember carol from all the World Series and NLCS games, always sat behind the dugout and seemed on the verge of tears💙❤️

[@Ovinha]

this video fills me with hope. i'm from Portugal where we are still far from living something like this. I'm a recent baseball and cubs fan but i dream of going to Wrigley and witness this atmosphere in person and not through a computer screen thousands of miles away in the middle of the night! go cubs go

[@GC-yw1mn]

You won’t be dissapointed. It truly is an incomparable experience.

[@skinnie2838]

Weirdo leftist walks out with a pink shirt. Turn off video. Good job to the half wit who made this video /facepalm

[@jann3443]

This was a beautiful, heart tugging video. 💙I've been a CUBS fan since I was old enough to know what baseball was. I'm carrying on my Dad's and maternal Grandpa's legacy as a Die Hard CUBS fan. I've lived in St Louis for 36 years and have taken a lot of abuse, until 2016. Boy, did I dish it back hard time then. Even though it's been rough, discouraging, and even embarrassing at times facing those 11 straight losses, nothing will change my love for the CUBS. I just wish I had a say in who's let go, who's traded, who's extended and who we sign. Don't you?? Oh! And I'd put a protective bubble around all of the guys so there'd be NO injuries !! Go CUBS Go!! 🤗⚾🤗⚾🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@MuIIigan]

[@famguy218]

Feels like so long ago; last good moment for us this season other than the no hitter

[@packzack.]

If the cubs like this comment they will win the world series

[@fromthepacific]

Not even a Cubs fan but I want to be best friends with Carol

[@Hamer4114]

8:09 that’s my girl.

[@skinnie2838]

no one cares

[@dadp9917]

I wonder if Margie is related to super scout George Genovese as he did sign by idol.......now friend Dave Kingman. If not, I'm sure that she remembers Big Dave.

[@Broadwaymungo]

SELL THE TEAM, RICKETTS - TRIBUNE 2.0

[@kentkearney6623]

[@kentkearney6623]

What everybody needs.....

[@chrisw443]

Be a manager for a regular season. Well that lasted a couple weeks....

[@annachicagocubsfan6322]

To bad the Cubs are not going to win anything this year. If they trade away the few last good players they have left hope they can get some good young talent for them. Seems like they are stuck with Heyward since nobody wants him. What a terrible signing that has turned out to be.

[@DalonCole]

Nothing should have ever shut down.

[@skinnie2838]

Yeah well, leftists dominate Chicago so you will get that trash from here on out apparently

[@dj-mb1bu]

Ahhh. Memories from the pandemic. Can’t forget the goofy cardboard fans

[@matthewuribe8375]

Awesome! Cub fans can watch this team lose in person now. Fire sale is coming

[@moo-moo74]

Oh no, THEY SUCK AGAIN!! 🤦🏾‍♂️ 🤣🤣

[@itchske]

I have no room in my life for woke sports. Perhaps someday I will come back.

[@BigTimeClipz]

Sorry ima cardinals fan😎

[@moldycheese5387]

your 1 in 5 against us 😑😑

[@TrueCubsFan]

Boo

[@FlresJ]

No need for full capacity with garbage players out there…

[@David-wk6md]

I'm so the Cubs won in 2016 🌵✌️😎🌵

[@paulcarlson754]

Thanks Jews for telling us when it’s okay to go outside again

[@JustinFields1234]

Go Cubs Go!
