While Wrigley Field won't be used for baseball in October, it will be used as a movie theater. The Cubs have decided to open their doors for a movie night Oct. 1, where they will be screening Ferris Bueller's Day Off to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the movie. Tickets are on sale now through Groupon or the Cubs box office: $10 for bleachers, $25 for lawn seats and $75 for VIP. If watching Ferris Bueller's Day Off at Wrigley isn't enough to get you there, maybe the thousands of people simultaneously singing "Danke Schoen" will lure you.
