2025 Cubs Convention Lineup Released

Backyard Baseball Makes an Appearance

The Chicago Cubs have announced the lineup for the 2025 Cubs Convention, taking place from January 17-19 at the Sheraton Grand Chicago. One of the most exciting additions to the convention is the “Backyard Baseball” station, which will give fans the opportunity to test their skills against Cubs players. This nostalgic video game, popular in the late 90’s and early 2000’s, will be available in the Exhibitor’s Hall on Friday and on the fourth-floor promenade on Saturday and Sunday.

Cubs Chats and Panels

The team is also hosting a series of “Cubs Chats,” where coaches will share their expertise in various sessions. These panels will cover topics such as “Learning to Hit,” “How to Pitch,” and “Around the Diamond.” A panel will be conducted in Spanish, and another will highlight the women of the front office. Broadcasting will also be a topic of discussion.

No Owners or Business-Operation Panels

For the second consecutive year, the Cubs Convention will not include owners or business-operation panels. Last year, the team cited a lack of participation reflected in surveys filled out by convention attendees. However, Chairman Tom Ricketts is scheduled to attend a reception late Saturday afternoon, where he will mingle with fans.
