Cubs Host the Dodgers During Four-Game Series (June 22-25) – Cubs Sign Hornitos as Naming Rights Partner of Left Field Group Space, Becomes Official Tequila of the Chicago Cubs
Following a five-game road trip, the Cubs will return home to Wrigley Field to host the Dodgers (June 22-25). The Hornitos Hacienda—formerly the Left Field Well—will make its debut during the homestand as Hornitos becomes the Official Tequila of the Chicago Cubs and naming rights partner of the recently launched left field group space.
The Hornitos Hacienda features space close to the field in the first two rows above the left field wall with designated standing room and limited seating for groups of approximately 15 to 50 fans. This space offers guests the best view in the Budweiser Bleachers to catch all the action and is perfect for bachelor/bachelorette parties and special events. The Hornitos Hacienda is available for group reservations by calling 773-404-4242.
As part of the partnership, Hornitos will have a branding presence at Wrigley Field, including signage on the left field wall and in-game promotion on the left field video board.
Hornitos Tequila, which has been available in the enhanced Budweiser Bleachers since their reopening in May, will continue to be available for fans in the bleachers. Premium cocktails featuring Hornitos Tequila also will be available at various locations throughout the ballpark.
