The Cubs, the City of Chicago, and Major League Baseball are set to officially announce next week that Wrigley Field has been awarded the 2027 All-Star Game.
Sun-Times sources confirmed the rollout, which will include officials from all parties, is scheduled for Aug. 1, as Crain’s Chicago Business reported Wednesday night.
The Cubs cleared the last big hurdle to winning the bid back in mid-June, when the Chicago City Counsell passed an ordinance to enhance security measures around Wrigley Field. That step allowed all parties to move ahead in hashing out further details and eventually finalize the Chicago-bound All-Star Game.
