OUT AT WRIGLEY Celebrates 20 years August
DID YOU KNOW?
OUT AT WRIGLEY is the longest-running Pride game in major U.S. pro sports?
The man behind the event, Bill Gubrud explains, “In 2001, I organized the largest Gay Day at a major league sporting event at Wrigley Field called Out at The Ballgame (now called Out at Wrigley). I went to the Cubs and told them I wanted to do a Gay Day,” Gubrud told Front Office Sports. “I asked how many seats were in a section and he said 2,000. I responded, ‘OK, I’ll take them all. That’s how we started. In 2012 and continuing this year, we bought out the new Budweiser Patio Deck as well as general seating in the ball park.”
That’s an amazing accomplishment!
In less than 2 weeks, OUT AT WRIGLEY celebrates 20 years! Sunday August 22nd is the date.
