South Bend Cubs excited for home opener on Tuesday

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (WNDU) - Baseball season is set to begin here in Michiana, as we are just one day away from the South Bend Cubs’ home opener!

The Cubs will welcome the Peoria Chiefs to Four Winds Field, which is still undergoing a $48 million renovation, on Tuesday night to kick off a six-game homestand. First pitch is set for 7:05 p.m. EDT.

South Bend Cubs Owner Andrew Berlin stopped by The WNDU Studios on Monday to talk about his excitement for opening day. He also told us what owning the Cubs means to him.

“I feel very embraced by the community here. Not just in South Bend but the overall community,” Berlin says. “There’s a strong feeling that I want to give back and I want to help those that are less fortunate. people who want to be in business or want to try something new. A lot of people just need a chance. I like the idea of having a business here that can give people an opportunity to make some money, practice their skills in business and maybe do something else one day.”
