It’s hard to argue that the Chicago Cubs aren’t the biggest sell for opposing teams to try to market. They have a huge fan base that travels well and a team that is fresh off winning their first World Series championship in over a century.
Plus, they’re pretty damn good at baseball.
Teams throughout the National League have already started using the Cubs to put fans in seats by creating ticket packages that feature games against the Cubs. Even the Cubs biggest rivals, the St. Louis Cardinals, have taken the opportunity to use the Cubs name as a marketing ploy to benefit themselves.
In late November, the Cardinals ticket office released a 5-game “ticket pack” that only featured games against the Chicago Cubs. While ticket packs are not that unusual, the language that was used to lure fans to buy that pack was pretty strange.

Cubs, Cubs, and more Cubs… catch five great games with the reigning world champs.
I’ll be honest with you, I’d probably do the same thing because at the end of the day, it’s about putting people in seats. However, I know the Cardinals front office had to be a little bit butt-hurt using their rivals to try and promote their own team.
It appears the Red Birds have used the Cubs again for promotional reasons…..this time accidentally.
