Last summer, Groupon proudly hosted – and sold out – the first-ever Movie Night at Wrigley Field, with nearly 10,000 local subscribers enjoying the classic film Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. That evening, Groupon and guests successfully broke a record for the largest number of people singing “in a round” to the song “Danke Schoen.”

Movie Night at Wrigley Field is sponsored by Redbox, Cricket Wireless and Lifeway Kefir. The evening is hosted as part of the larger Camp Groupon event series happening July 6-8, featuring first-class meals and activities from Chicago’s favorite Groupon merchants.
