To celebrate the city’s storied baseball history, the show will also host 25 current and former Chicago Cubs players with additional appearances by Andre Dawson, Ryne Sandberg, Javier Baez, and more. In addition to the large number of Chicago sports icons, the Sports Spectacular boasts a lineup of premier athletes ranging from legends of the game to current stars.

“It’s always a pleasure to bring the Fanatics Authentic Sports Spectacular to Chicago because it’s our largest show of the year,” said Ross Tannenbaum, President of Fanatics Authentic, “but this one in particular is even more special due to the Cubs historic run during the 2015 MLB Postseason and the large presence of Chicago Cubs on the lineup.”
