The last 108 years or so has been torturous for Chicago Cubs fans. Then, on Saturday, October 22, 2016, a day that shall live on in the memories of modern day Cubs fans forever, the Chicago Cubs won the NLCS and earned their first trip to the World Series since 1945!
The scene here in the city has been electric. Wrigleyville was packed with an estimated 300,000 on Saturday night. The bars were over-flowing, many charging much more than their normal cover charges for a game day. Fireworks were exploding in all the cities neighborhoods well into the night after the Cubs clinched.
At night, the Chicago skyline is dotted with Cubby Blue on most of the major skyscrapers. The Art Institute has donned Cubs caps on their world famous lion statues at their entrance. Cubs jersey's and W flags are present everywhere. Both Northsiders and Southsiders have joined in a sort of peaceful unity in honor the Chicago Cubs being in the World Series.

This has been a great Big 10 rivalry for many years, but this may be the biggest yet. This will mark the first football game played at Wrigley Field since 1970 when the Bears were still calling it home.
Wrigley Field has been the home to the Cubs since 1914 and has held many other events besides baseball and football. Most recently, Wrigley Field was the host for the 2009 Winter Classic between the Blackhawks and Red Wings.
