The DMC team headed to Wrigley Field as a welcome event for several of our newest team members! With the Chicago Cubs taking on the Kansas City Royals, the afternoon was set up perfectly for some summertime fun, great company, and a true Chicago experience.
The event started with everyone grabbing the essentials: hot dogs, drinks, and all the ball game snacks you could ask for. There’s just something about a hot dog at Wrigley Field, and for a few of our attendees, this was their first taste of the experience!
One of our new hires shared that this was their first time ever at Wrigley Field. “I had never been to a baseball game and had really been meaning to, so I’m glad I had this excuse to go,” they said.
Between taking in the views of the historic stadium and soaking up the energy of the crowd, it was a perfect introduction to Chicago’s baseball scene. Cubs catcher Carson Kelly and infielder Matt Shaw came out swinging with back-to-back homers in the second and third innings, giving fans a reason to celebrate early on.
But the game was more than just baseball; it was a chance for new and longtime DMCers to connect in a relaxed, fun setting.
“I really appreciate that DMC has welcome events like this,” another new hire said. “It gave me the chance to meet some people I hadn’t gotten more than a quick introduction from before.”
Whether it was chatting between innings or cheering on the Cubs, the afternoon was full of new experiences for some and fun for all.
While the Cubs didn’t end up winning, the atmosphere inside the stadium more than made up for it. From the crack of the bat to the sound of the crowd singing ‘Take Me Out to the Ballgame,’ it was the kind of day that perfectly captures summer in Chicago and a great way to welcome the newest additions to our team.
