Mesa's Hohokam Stadium will host a free viewing party for Wednesday and Thursday's Chicago Cubs vs. Arizona Diamondbacks playoff games.
Fans are welcome to bring their own food and drinks and watch the National League Division Series games on the new state-of-the-art scoreboard and a second 30-foot screen, but alcohol won't be allowed.
Hohokam serves as the Cactus League home for the Cubs, who usually lead the league in attendance, so expect a lot of Cub fans at the event. Cubs memorabilia will be available, but Diamondbacks fans also are welcome.
"The city is happy to provide a low-cost, family-oriented option to watch the game," said Dave Dunne, Hohokam Stadium director. "It's like going to a drive-in and watching a baseball game."
The games start at 7 p.m. and gates open at 5:30 p.m. Hohokam is at 1025 N. Center Street, north of Brown Road.
