AFL Wireless Services and the Chicago Cubs: A Partnership Built Around the Fan Experience

Published on: August 26, 2026

At Wrigley Field, history and tradition are everywhere. But delivering the experience fans expect today also requires technology that continues to evolve behind the scenes.

For more than a decade, the team behind AFL Wireless Services has worked alongside the Chicago Cubs with a shared goal: helping create an exceptional experience for every fan who walks through the gates of one of baseball’s most iconic venues.

Our latest video case study takes you inside that partnership and explores how collaboration, trust and wireless expertise continue to shape connectivity at Wrigley Field.

More Than a Technology Provider

Supporting connectivity at a venue like Wrigley Field requires more than designing and deploying wireless infrastructure.

It requires understanding the venue, its operations and its long-term vision. It means anticipating changing technology and fan expectations, solving challenges together and continually looking for ways to improve the experience.

That collaborative approach has been at the heart of the relationship between the Cubs and AFL Wireless Services. Over the years, the teams have worked together to evolve Wrigley Field’s wireless infrastructure while navigating the unique requirements of a historic ballpark. The result is a relationship built not around a single project, but around a shared commitment to what comes next.

Keeping the Fan at the Center

Today’s fans expect to stay connected throughout their experience, whether accessing mobile tickets, communicating with friends and family, sharing moments from the ballpark or using the digital services that have become part of attending a live event.

For the Cubs and AFL Wireless Services, supporting those experiences means the technology behind them has to perform without becoming the focus.

The best wireless infrastructure works quietly in the background, allowing fans to focus on why they came to Wrigley Field in the first place.

The game. The atmosphere. The people they’re with. The experience.

A Partnership That Continues to Evolve

Technology will continue to change. Fan expectations will continue to grow. And iconic venues like Wrigley Field will continue finding ways to bring modern experiences into places defined by history and tradition.

That’s what makes long-term partnerships so important.

By working closely with the Cubs, AFL Wireless Services can bring together knowledge of the venue, wireless expertise and an understanding of the organization’s goals to help prepare Wrigley Field for what comes next.

Because great venue technology shouldn’t be the thing fans notice.

The experience should be.
