Cubs Info

Information on a wide variety of Chicago Cubs information that isn't found on most sites across the internet. Learn of local autograph signings, find Wrigleyville rooftops and bars, and learn about the Cubs Convention and Cubs Spring Training.

Cubs Spring Training

The Cubs spend their spring training at Hohokam Park ("Ho-Ho-COM") in Arizona outside of Mesa. Home to the Cubs since 1997, HoHokam was designed by HOK Sport of Kansas City, MO. The stadium is located at 1235 N. Center St. in Mesa, Arizona.



Tickets often sell out early, but good seats can always be found through our ticket partners.

If you can't get tickets to the game you want in Mesa, you can always try one of the many facilities in the surrounding areas. Numerous teams play in Peoria, Scottsdale, Tempe, and Surprise.



At spring training, fans get a closer look at team and coaches. Spring Training is also the best chance to get autographs from your favorite current and past players and coaches.

There are numerous ways to get autographs. To get your favorite player, you just need a little luck. Whether its waiting for them by the dugout before the game or waiting for them as they leave the park, fans have a very good chance at getting most players to sign.



Many fans also wait near the player's entrance. Sometimes the players will stop to sign autographs as they leave the park.

If Ron Santo is your favorite, it is easy to get an autograph or just say "hi", as the press booth is only about six feet above the upper seating section. Usually when WGN radio is broadcasting, there is a short line down the steps waiting for Santo to sign.

If you are just visiting to have a good time, Hohokam is the place to be. The energy is high and the sun is hot. You can even sit beyond the outfield on the grass for about $7 a game, but make sure you get there early to pick a good spot!

Cubs Convention

Join the Cubs each year in January for the annual Cubs Convention. The launching point of each season is typically held at the Chicago Hilton located at 720 South Michigan Avenue.

Each year, current and former players attend the convention as fans have the opportunity to mingle with the stars, get autographs, and listen to question and answer sessions. The event begins Friday with opening ceremonies and various autograph sessions.
