Wrigley Field, the iconic baseball stadium and home to MLB's Chicago Cubs, will host a National Women's Soccer League match for the first time on June 8 when the Chicago Red Stars play Bay FC. This move is part of an effort to make the Red Stars more accessible to sports fans in Chicago, as stated in a press release by the team.

Since 2016, the Red Stars have been playing their home games at SeatGeek Stadium in Bridgeview, Illinois, which is located 15 miles southwest of downtown Chicago.
