Cubs Fever in Indy? You Betcha! How to Catch Those Wrigley Field Whiz Kids in Circle City
So, you're a die-hard Cubs fan stranded in Indianapolis? Fear not, fellow bleacher bum! You can still witness the magic of Wrigley Field (from afar) and cheer on your favorite team from the comfort of your Indy couch, or your favorite sports bar with a good helping of Hoosier hospitality. Here's the ultimate guide to catching those Cubs games, Indianapolis style!
Option 1: Calling All Cable Cutters - Streaming to the Rescue!
In this day and age, who needs bulky cable packages anyway? If you're a streaming samurai, there are a couple of ways to catch the Cubs:
Marquee Sports Network App: This is the holy grail for Cubs fans in the Chicago area, but Indianapolis? Not quite. However, if you're a tech wiz and have a trusty VPN (Virtual Private Network), you can spoof your location and subscribe to the Marquee Sports Network app. Just remember, this might involve some technical wizardry, so proceed with caution (and maybe a YouTube tutorial or two).
MLB.TV: This is your classic, reliable option. MLB.TV offers a subscription service that lets you stream out-of-market games, including the Cubs! Just be aware of blackout restrictions – some Cubs games might be blacked out in the Indianapolis area if there's a local broadcast.
Option 2: The Comfort of Cable (and Maybe Some Hoosier Hospitality)
Tip: Look out for transitions like ‘however’ or ‘but’.
Hey, there's nothing wrong with curling up on the couch with a cold beverage and the familiar glow of cable TV. Here's what you need to know:
Marquee Sports Network: If you're lucky enough to have a cable provider that carries Marquee Sports Network (check your channel guide!), then you're golden. Settle in, grab some snacks, and enjoy the game!
WISHTV/WNDY: These local Indianapolis stations might occasionally broadcast Cubs games, especially if they're playing a rival team. It's not guaranteed, but it's worth checking their schedule to see if you can catch a game or two.
