Fans can gather outside of Wrigley Field at Gallagher Way on Friday to watch Sandberg's private funeral service on the Gallagher Way video board.
For those who can't make it in person, the services will be streamed online on the Marquee Sports Network app and broadcast on WGN 9. It will also be broadcast for radio listeners on 670 The Score, according to a Cubs spokesperson.
Do I need tickets?
While the funeral service is private, it will be streamed at the public tribute. No tickets are required.
How can I show support?
The Sandberg family has asked that fans bring nonperishable food items to the tribute, which will then be donated to Nourishing Hope and Most Blessed Trinity Food Pantry.
