Earlier this week, a hubbub surfaced on the North Side of Chicago. On Tuesday night, the Chicago Cubs barred a popular fan photographer from entering Wrigley Field. But less than 24 hours later, a temporary resolution was made.
Twitter/X user @MBDChicago posted on Wednesday afternoon that he was able to enter Wrigley Field with no issues, a day after posting about how security confiscated his camera. He claimed the Cubs reached out to him and granted him temporary permission to return to the ballpark.
“Hoping to work things out longer term, but grateful to be able to bring you photos again on this beautiful day. Thanks, again, to everyone who enjoys the photos and the Cubs,” MBDChicago posted.
An update:
The @cubs reached out this morning and gave me permission to bring my camera into today’s game. Hoping to work things out longer term, but grateful to be able to bring you photos again on this beautiful day.

The popular photographer has gained a following online over the years. He currently has 5,735 followers on X, the website formerly known as Twitter, and has been doing great work for a long time.
Last night, one person who discovered the controversy suggested it could have been an overzealous security guard. While a long-term solution still needs to be ironed out, it’s a good sign to see that this was dusted up quickly. With the Cubs enjoying a successful start to the season, this could have bellowed into a nightmare if they continued to bar MBDChicago from Wrigley Field.
Suffice it to say, the confines were friendlier at Wrigley from Wednesday to Tuesday.
