The Chicago Cubs kicked off their 2026 season with a captivating six-game homestand at Wrigley Field, a historic venue located on Chicago’s North Side. On a chilly Wednesday afternoon, with temperatures not exceeding 40 degrees, a unique fan stood out among the crowd.
Fan Works Remotely During Cubs Day Game
As the game started at 2 p.m., one diligent fan, bundled in a coat and hat, was seen multitasking. He worked on his cellphone and laptop while watching the Cubs face the Los Angeles Angels. The scene evoked memories from the previous season, where another fan was spotted working in shorts during an August game.
Previous Season’s Unique Fan
In August 2025, a fan similarly focused on his computer while the Cubs played the Milwaukee Brewers. This individual even brought a computer mouse along, raising questions about his intentions. One game broadcaster humorously speculated, “Is this guy working? Or maybe he’s reviewing his fantasy football draft?”

The Cubs celebrated a decisive 6-2 victory over the Angels on April 1, 2026. Matthew Boyd delivered an impressive performance, striking out ten batters and earning the win. This victory allowed the Cubs to take two of three games in the series.
