Cast & Connect: The Wrigley Rooftop

Where Foundry Leaders Take the Game to New Heights

Thursday, May 7, 2026
12:20 PM - 4:00 PM (CDT)

Event Details

Wrigley Rooftop Deals - Chicago on the Cheap NFFS is bringing foundry leaders, suppliers, and industry decision-makers together for a one-of-a-kind afternoon overlooking one of baseball’s most iconic ballparks, Wrigley Field.

This special edition of Cast & Connect brings the conversation above the stadium to a private Wrigley Field rooftop, creating the perfect setting to connect with peers while enjoying the Chicago Cubs vs. Cincinnati Reds game.

Great views. Great food. Cold drinks. And the kind of conversations that don’t happen over email.

A Ballgame with a Better View

Watching the game from a Wrigley rooftop is a uniquely Chicago experience, often described as a “party in the sky” in the heart of Wrigleyville. With panoramic views of the field and the surrounding neighborhood, it offers a relaxed and social way to enjoy the game together.

Your ticket includes an all-inclusive rooftop experience featuring:

  • Unlimited ballpark-style food and snacks
  • Open bar with beer and non-beer beverage options
  • Comfortable seating and indoor lounge areas
  • Private restrooms and TVs
  • A high-angle view of the game and Chicago skyline

Unlike traditional stadium seating, the rooftop allows you to move around, connect, and enjoy the game at your own pace, making it the perfect environment for building relationships across the industry.

From Melt to the Ballpark

This is time to step away from production schedules and emails to connect with people who understand the realities of the business.

Talk shop. Talk strategy. Share ideas. Build relationships that last longer than a business card exchange.

Because the best conversations in our industry don’t always happen in a meeting room. Sometimes they happen:

  • Between innings
  • Over a drink with someone who understands the pressure of a pour
  • With a skyline view and a legendary ballpark below
