What did we get at the Premier League Fan Fest in Chicago?
Across the two-day fan festival taking place at Chicago’s Lincoln Park, registered fans got involved in NBC Sports’ live on-site broadcast, meet Premier League legends, and took part in free on-site activities, which included the opportunity to have photos taken with the Premier League Trophy and Club mascots.
NBC Sports’ studio team of host Rebecca Lowe and analysts Robbie Earle, Robbie Mustoe and Tim Howard broadcast Premier League Mornings Live presented by Barclays from the event Saturday and Sunday, kicking off each day at 7 a.m. ET.
Special guests joied NBC Sports’ coverage throughout the festival, including Premier League champion and former Chelsea captain Gary Cahill, former Arsenal captain Patrick Vieira, Chicago PD star Benjamin Aguilar, and more.
Lowe, Earle, Mustoe and Howard joined Cahill at Wrigley Field on Friday for the Washington Nationals-Chicago Cubs game. Prior to the game, Cubs TV analyst Ryan Dempster led Earle and Mustoe on a tour of Wrigleyville outside the stadium, before hitting key locations in the stadium ahead of first pitch. Howard and Cahill threw the ceremonial first pitch.
At the seventh-inning stretch, Lowe led the NBC Sports team in the singing of “Take Me Out to the Ballgame.” The group’s trip to Wrigley was featured across the weekend’s Premier League studio shows on NBC, Peacock and USA Network.
Telemundo Deportes’ Freddy Oldenburg also provided on-location reports from the Fan Fest throughout coverage on Telemundo and Universo.
