“Groupon Presents…” Movie Night at Wrigley Field!
Not to be bullied by Mother Nature’s passive aggressive tendencies, we here at Groupon are still enjoying Chicago’s finest outdoor activities. That’s why we’re excited to introduce “Groupon Presents…” a showcase of the coolest stuff in local culture and entertainment, kicking off with a partnership with the Chicago Cubs to offer the first-ever movie night at Wrigley Field! This premier “Groupon Presents…” experience celebrates the 25th anniversary of Chicago’s biggest adventure, “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” with a screening on Saturday, October 1.
That Saturday, Groupon and Ferris Bueller will take over the city with Groupon Now! deals honoring classic scenes from the movie, such as discounted admission to the SkyDeck at Willis Tower, as well as offers throughout Wrigleyville for pre- and post-event fun.
Other than demonstrating the ability to quote the entire movie from memory, guests can enjoy the quintessential Chicago film on three gigantic movie screens inside the Friendly Confines. People are invited to set up picnic blankets, join in a coordinated attempt to break a world record singing the film’s memorable anthem, “Danke Shoen,” and snap pictures with cast look-a-likes, among other surprises.
So grab your sister’s boyfriend’s brother’s girlfriend and have some fun with us!

What a hoot! I haven’t had so much fun since I can’t remember when! Everyone around us was talking about how much FUN it was to be there. We were on the field with our picnic supper, and it was so hilarious when the band came in…the Siskel & Ebert review from 25 yrs. ago. . .the ENTIRE event was beyond great.
I hope we get to do it again next year!
