"Big League Weekend is always a fantastic showcase and having the Chicago Cubs play the cross-town rival White Sox further enhances the event," said Rossi Ralenkotter, President/CEO of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. "The two teams hold the single-game attendance record for Cashman Field and we expect great interest in the match-up."
"We are excited that the Cubs and White Sox will return for Big League Weekend," 51s President/General Manager Don Logan said. "The games last season between the Chicago rivals featured two sellout crowds and we anticipate another great weekend for this year's games. Chicago fans, both locally and the tourists that visit during this event, always enjoy watching Cubs and White Sox baseball at Cashman Field."
