The first comes out at the end of September and is a bare-bones schedule. It just list games as home or away. The second version comes out at the Cubs Convention in January. It's got a bit more detail and has more ticket and promotion information. The final version comes out during spring training and its the full-blast, got it all schedule.
I didn't attend this year's convention (actually I've never gone to any Cubs Convention, but I need to!), but I was able to pick up the convention version of the schedule off of Ebay.
We've got the big three on the cover, Rizzo, Bryant, and Maddon. It's a nice cover, but I like the cover on the September calendar more.
In March I'll call the Cubs and request the full 2016 schedule. They are happy to send a few to me and I'm happy to get them into my collection
I agree but I like the new one as well. I wonder what the regular one will be like.
ReplyDeleteI wish I would have know you wanted the Convention schedule, because I could have picked up a couple of extras. Bummer.
ReplyDeleteThe Strop-Bryant moment WAS my favorite of the year, in what was a year filled with fun memories.
First question-
ReplyDeleteFor the 2016 season, do they still make and sell Calendars, that have:
Month by month separate pages, along with the Cubs 2016 schedule
(Opponents & game time)?
Or on top of those two, promotion schedule, room for notes and/or box score?
If anyone knows where I can purchase a calendar like the one I described above, please let me know!!
Years back, you could find a great detailed Cubs season calendar almost anywhere.
