Mesa has declared Nov. 7 Chicago Cubs Day.

The city is home to Sloan park, the Spring Training field for the World Series Champions.

The team has trained in Mesa for more than 50 years but moved to their newest location at Sloan Park in 2014. The stadium and facilities was approved by  a 2010 ballot measure and cost a record breaking $99 million to build.

Katherine Fritcke was a morning producer at KJZZ from 2015 to 2017.
