The Cubs' American Airlines 1914 Club at Wrigley Field opened this week, and it "aims to suggest a hotel lobby bar of a century ago," according to Phil Rosenthal of the CHICAGO TRIBUNE. The 7,500-square-foot space has "dark wood, vintage bricks and soft lighting," and sits "below the stands behind home plate." Fans can pay "between $32,400 and $56,295 per seat per season." The club features "all-you-can-consume food and beverages" and is the "first, largest and most expensive of four planned Cubs premium clubs at Wrigley." The other clubs are "supposed to be ready next season." The available 700 or so spots for the 1914 Club "already have been snapped up." Among other amenities are a "stand selling exclusive Cubs merchandise said to be available only in the club." There also are "lockers to store that merchandise or a purse or charge a phone during the game." Cubs Senior VP/Sales & Marketing Colin Faulkner said that the reason there are "only five big TVs and four smaller ones in the 1914 Club is because people said they wanted to enjoy their seats, not hang out in a sports bar." There are a "handful of private rooms within the club that come with eight primo seats." They are called "bunker suites." Each has a "private bar and a lot of TVs for use whether there’s a game going on or not" (CHICAGO TRIBUNE, 4/12).
