BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – The Indiana Baseball team will get the chance to play at one of the sport's most iconic venues when the final month of the regular season begins. Head coach Jeff Mercer and his squad will play the opening game (Friday, May 1) of their series against Northwestern at Wrigley Field – the home of the Chicago Cubs. It's the fourth straight year that the Wildcats have hosted a game at the Friendly Confines.
IU's game against Northwestern will be the first contest the program plays at an MLB stadium since a March tournament at T-Mobile Park (Mariners) in 2019. The Hoosiers also played at Target Field (Twins) for the 2013 Big Ten Tournament. The final two games of the weekend series will take place at Northwestern's home stadium.
First pitch will come at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT on Big Ten Plus. Tickets for the game are available at www.cubs.com/northwesternbaseball. Wrigley Field gates will open approximately two hours after the conclusion of the Cubs and Diamondbacks game that afternoon.
