There was a match at Soldier Field saturday, The New Zealand All Blacks – the world’s most classic rugby team – and adidas joined millions of Chicagoans to celebrate the Chicago Cubs’ historic championship at the team’s parade.
The players also started a wiffle ball pick-up game with fans on Wacker Drive during the parade. The All Blacks are set to face Ireland Saturday afternoon and players handed out match tickets and gift bags to lucky fans today. Over the last week, the All Blacks have enjoyed the sights and sounds of Chicago by visiting iconic landmarks including The Bean, Navy Pier, The Art Institute and Shedd Aquarium before stopping at Giordano’s to try the hometown pizza.
