In 2017, the Ricketts family created Marquee Sports & Entertainment to be the exclusive source for partnerships, consulting, sales, meetings and events and experiential opportunities across one of the most powerful properties in sports and entertainment. A separate entity from the Chicago Cubs, the agency boasts a wide portfolio of assets to deliver innovative, scalable and tailored solutions for clients inside and outside Wrigley Field, including the Park at Wrigley, Hotel Zachary, Wrigley Rooftops and American Airlines Conference Center.

The goal is to help partners authentically engage with their customers and intersect their brands with music, sports and entertainment. Marquee Sports & Entertainment’s name derives from the iconic and world-famous Wrigley Field Marquee that has adorned the main entrance since 1934.
