Known for its unique traditions and charm, Wrigley Field is an integral piece of the history and future of America’s pastime. To preserve its charm and ensure its viability for years to come, the team began a multi-year restoration and modernization project coined the 1060 Project in 2014. A part of the project included introducing game-changing premier experiences to Wrigley Field focused on four themes: tradition, beauty, charm, and luxury. The mission was for Wrigley Field to remain the best place to catch a baseball game and to keep its historic, majestic charm while also offering seats with prime views and access to exclusive clubs and first-class amenities. Each of Wrigley Field’s new ticketed premier clubs offers a bar with premium drinks and exciting menu options, all in climate-controlled spaces with private restrooms. Top-notch service and unrivaled amenities bind these clubs together. Unique personalities and distinct features set them apart.
The Catalina Club is located behind home plate in the upper level and boasts a panoramic view of Wrigley Field, shots of the Chicago skyline, and a glimpse of Lake Michigan. Inspired by one of the Cubs’ early spring training homes, members of the Catalina Club enjoy indoor and outdoor patios and unique culinary experiences. Lined with Wrigley Field’s iconic flags around the patio’s perimeter, the retractable glass walls allow members to take in the sights, sounds, and summer breeze in this next-level club.
The Catalina Club's airy and bright ambiance, designed by Populous, brings the outside in. Bask in the sunshine with friends while enjoying scrumptious small plates and grilled items. Sessionable beer and inviting wines round out the dining experience and bring a breezy, fun flavor to any Catalina Club outing. Food, beer, and wine are included in the membership with liquor available for purchase.
The decorative style of the Catalina Club is influenced by the island’s history as well as the terracotta tiles and hand-painted glazed tiles reminiscent of a Catalina Island residence or hotel. The original Catalina Island logo is displayed prominently in the club with the “CUBS” logo in nautical font.
Catalina Island remains a special place in the hearts of the Chicago Cubs, and the island continues to fly the iconic “W” flag today. Fans visiting this club feel the story and the history from the second they walk through the doors.
