OT: The Cubs Game that Ferris Bueller Attended
I love this movie and have a feeling that I am not alone on Net54. I thought you guys would enjoy some detective work to figure out the game Ferris, Cameron, and Sloan attended.

Is that Carlton from Fresh Prince of Bel Air in the background? And do you think the name “Sloan” was used to pay homage to the Spring Training field for the Cubs here in Phoenix?

And by the way...to this then 22 year old Mia Sara was incredible in person. What was also amazing to me was that this scene was only filmed with about 20 extras. Seeing the scene on the big screen I could not believe how "crowded" the ballpark looked for this shot. Last edited by whitehse; 02-28-2018 at 02:03 PM. |

My own bit of snooping gives us that great music that seemed to taunt Mr. Rooney:

misread your post thought you were saying she was fine at 22. No problem with wither sentiment!

Cool stuff!
I also like to believe that the Angels-Mariners game in "The Naked Gun" was an actual game that occurred
