SOUTH BEND, Ind. – The South Bend Cubs have released their 2021 promotional schedule, with celebrations including Fan Appreciation Night, Military Appreciation Night, and plenty of giveaways.
With the pandemic canceling celebrations last year, the Cubs will make up for lost time by celebrating their 2019 Midwest League Championship with a number of giveaways throughout the season. Select fans can win a replica championship ring, a replica Midwest League Trophy, a championship team canvas print, and more at games this summer.
This season’s bobblehead will feature 2016 Chicago Cubs World Series MVP Ben Zobrist, who played in three rehab games in South Bend in 2019. The first 1,000 fans can win his bobblehead at the August 18 game.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. The South Bend Cubs announced single game tickets for May and June will go on sale April 14 at noon.
When purchasing tickets, fans will have the opportunity to choose which section they want to sit, but individual rows and seats will not be assigned.
Fans will be asked to physically distance from fans they do not know as they arrive and throughout the game.
“We know our fans have been asking and waiting for individual game tickets to go on sale for months,” said South Bend Cubs Team President Joe Hart. “It’s been a longer process than usual, but we want to thank our fans for their patience while we finalized our stadium reopening procedures with the St. Joseph County Health Department.
