About
The Yankees host the Chicago Cubs for a 3-game weekend series at Yankee Stadium, –. A marquee interleague weekend: Cubs fans travel.
Cubs–Yankees is two of baseball's biggest brands in one building, and Cubs fans travel in force, so the atmosphere is closer to October than to a spring weekend. Interleague visits from Chicago come only every few years. The series straddles April and May, when Bronx weather finally turns pleasant. Sunday afternoons usually bring kids-run-the-bases and the widest family seating.
What to expect
3 standard nine-inning games, roughly three hours each. Weekday games are typically evening starts; weekend games mix afternoon and evening. Expect the full in-stadium promo calendar and Yankee Stadium's food concourses.
