The Cubs are looking to maximize their Wrigley Field usage once the renovation project is completed.
Teddy Greenstein of the Chicago Tribune reports the Cubs are hoping to use "The Friendly Confines" as the host stadium for a college football bowl game each year beginning in 2020. The idea stems from the New York Yankees hosting the annual Pinstripe Bowl at Yankee Stadium.
In the fall of 2020, the Cubs and Northwestern are planning for the Wildcats to host "multiple" games at Wrigley Field, according to Greenstein.

Even with a football field already in place in Chicago on the lake, the Cubs believe they can offer something special with Wrigley that Soldier Field can't.
