All-Star Game 2027: The Perfect Stage

Wrigley Field, built in 1914, last hosted the MLB All-Star Game in 1990. Its return as the host of the 2027 Midsummer Classic marks a historic moment not only for Cubs fans but for the city of Chicago.

MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred applauded the Cubs’ commitment:

Wrigley is a cathedral of baseball. These upgrades ensure that when we return in 2027, it will be more than an All-Star Game — it will be an unforgettable celebration of the game’s past, present, and future.

With the global spotlight on the city during All-Star Week, the renovation is not only about baseball, but also about elevating Chicago’s cultural and tourism appeal. Local businesses, hotels, and restaurants are expected to see a significant economic boost.

Enhancing the Fan Experience

A central theme of the renovation is immersive fan interaction. The Cubs organization is working with digital partners to introduce new augmented reality (AR) experiences, mobile app upgrades for in-seat ordering, and a virtual history tour that connects fans with the legends of Wrigley Field.

Ricketts emphasized:

We want fans of all generations — from lifelong season ticket holders to kids attending their first game — to feel the magic of Wrigley in new and meaningful ways.

The initiative will also include more family-friendly areas, inclusive spaces, and modernized concessions with expanded local food and beverage options — a move that aligns with Wrigley’s evolution into a year-round entertainment destination.

A Nod to Tradition, A Leap into Tomorrow

Despite the high-tech upgrades, Ricketts and the renovation team are committed to preserving Wrigley’s historical essence. The iconic ivy-covered outfield walls, manual scoreboard, and the neighborhood ballpark atmosphere will remain untouched.

Tradition is what makes Wrigley sacred. Innovation is what keeps it alive,” said Cubs President of Business Operations Crane Kenney.

Community Investment and Job Creation

Beyond the bricks and seats, the project is also about investing in the community. The renovations are projected to create over 350 construction jobs and long-term employment opportunities in stadium operations, security, and hospitality.

Additionally, the Cubs plan to launch a “Wrigley Works” workforce development initiative in partnership with local trade schools and youth programs to prepare young Chicagoans for careers in sports and stadium management.


Conclusion

With the 2027 MLB All-Star Game on the horizon, Thomas Ricketts’ $15.3 million renovation project at Wrigley Field is more than a facelift — it’s a bold declaration of the Cubs’ vision for the future. By honoring tradition while embracing innovation, the Cubs are ensuring that Wrigley Field remains a crown jewel of Major League Baseball — ready to dazzle the world in 2027 and beyond.
