Case Study: Chicago Cubs achieve real-time weather-driven game strategy and broadcast insights with Tomorrow.io

Chicago Cubs - Customer Case Study

The Chicago Cubs faced a new-season challenge: with no live fans and heightened demand for compelling, data-driven broadcasts, announcers and team staff needed clearer, hyperlocal insight into how weather was affecting games at Wrigley Field. Tomorrow.io’s weather intelligence platform was deployed in partnership with Marquee Sports Network to help explain and visualize those weather impacts for viewers and decision-makers.

Tomorrow.io delivered real-time and predictive weather-impact visuals and a dashboard that lets announcers and teams see how wind, temperature, and humidity change ball travel and fielding risk. The solution produced measurable, game-level insights — for example, wind added 15 feet to a Wilson Contreras home run and the dashboard flagged “balls traveling additional 15 feet to left field during innings 1–6” — enabling alerts and tactical calls (like shifting the outfield) that provide competitive intelligence and the potential to influence game outcomes.
