It’s time for Chicago baseball, Redbirds! On July 22, we’re ready to sing “Go, Cubs, Go” at Wrigley Field with an exclusive ISU collab hat. For our South Siders, our night with the White Sox is looking for a little “Sweet Home Chicago” with an exclusive ISU collab T-shirt and President Aondover Tarhule throwing the first pitch on July 28. Pregame receptions are planned for both games with chances to meet President Tarhule, ISU leadership, and Reggie Redbird. After reconnecting with Illinois State and hanging out with fellow alumni, we’ll head to the stadium to catch the game.
