The Wrigley Field Goose, affectionately named “Suzuki” by fans, has become an unexpected but welcomed guest at the historic ballpark. During the Chicago Cubs’ home series against the San Diego Padres, a goose made a cozy nest in one of the planter boxes below the venue’s scoreboard. This sight caught the attention of fans and quickly became a viral sensation across social media.
The Wrigley Field Goose has been hanging out in a juniper planter in the center field bleachers. To ensure the safety of both the bird and the fans, the Cubs organization has cordoned off the area. Employees at the stadium have been keeping an eye on the bird, ensuring it’s undisturbed while also making sure no fans sit too close to the goose’s nesting area. This effort has led fans to lovingly refer to the staff as “geesekeepers.”
The Wrigley Field Goose’s Popularity Among Fans
Field Goose has quickly won over the hearts of Cubs fans, who are now keeping an eye on its progress. Season ticket holders Debbie Hultine and Buster Zenor spotted the nesting bird and were happy to accommodate her by moving from their regular seats. They observed that the goose remained calm, even with thousands of fans around. Her partner, a male goose, stood guard, offering protection when needed.
Cubs Organization Ensures the Safety of the Wrigley Field Goose
In a statement from Jennifer Martinez, the Senior Director of Communications for the Cubs, the organization emphasized its commitment to ensuring the safety of both the fans and the Wrigley Field Goose. While the bird rests in its unique location, the Cubs are collaborating with wildlife experts to manage the situation responsibly and in compliance with state laws. This focus on conservation has made the Wrigley Field Goose a beloved part of the ballpark’s atmosphere this season.
