MLB Opening Day is on Thursday and to celebrate the start of the season the Cubs and Budweiser are hooking fans up. Head to Gallerger Way Wednesday for a chance to participate in the Play for Opening Day contest.

CHICAGO - The Chicago Cubs and Budweiser have announced the return of the "Play for Opening Day" batting practice event for fans ahead of the team's home opener next week!

The event will take place on Wednesday from 9:30 a.m. until noon. 

Fans interested in attending the event should arrive at Gallagher Way between 9:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. to receive a scratch-off card. This card will determine if they are a winner and eligible to participate. Then, the 75 randomly selected fans will have three chances to hit a target in the ballpark to win prizes.

The grand prize is $1 million for the lucky fan who hits the stack of Budweiser cases in the Budweiser Bleachers.
