Wrigley Field: More Than Just a Ballpark
The Chicago Cubs kicked off the 2026 season with a six-game homestand at the legendary Wrigley Field, and it wasn’t just about baseball. Amidst the cheers of thousands of Cubs fans, a unique scene unfolded during a recent afternoon game. One dedicated fan appeared to take the “businessman’s special” to heart, multitasking between enjoying the game and tackling work commitments.
Despite chilly temperatures in the Windy City – barely reaching 40 degrees Fahrenheit – this resourceful fan bundled up and diligently worked on his cellphone and laptop, seemingly unfazed by the on-field action. This isn’t an isolated incident, however.

A Growing Trend?
This moment echoes a similar scene from last season, where cameras captured a fan working on his computer during an August 2025 game. That fan, opting for shorts instead of winter gear, even brought a computer mouse to maintain peak productivity while the Cubs battled the Milwaukee Brewers. The broadcasters at the time playfully questioned whether he was actually working or simply reviewing his fantasy football draft!
The Cubs’ broadcast network even responded with a humorous, tongue-in-cheek work email: “Hi, per our last email, we have a hard stop. Let’s touch base Friday before the Cubs-Guardians game. All the best, Marquee.”
Recent Game Highlights
On Wednesday, the Cubs celebrated a 6-2 victory over the Los Angeles Angels, securing two wins out of three in the series. Pitcher Matthew Boyd delivered a stellar performance, striking out ten batters and earning the win.
The Cubs enjoyed a day off on Thursday and will resume play on Friday with a three-game series against the Cleveland Guardians. You can follow all the latest sports updates on Fox News Digital’s sports coverage and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
