Cub fans only want to store one thing at Wrigley Field other than red-hot baseball – and that’s a World Series pennant! It’s been 107 years since the Cubs have won a World Series.
At StorageMart, sports fans rent storage Chicago units to keep their sporting gear in shape year ’round. Climate controlled space prevents damage from temperature changes, from spring training to the World Series.
StorageMart provides Chicagoans a steal in self storage without any voo-doo. The Cubs have been plagued by a “curse” since the 1945 World Series, Billy Goat Tavern owner Billy Sianis was asked to leave Wrigley Field because his pet goat’s odor was bothering fans. Outraged he allegedly declared, “Them Cubs, they ain’t gonna win no more,” and the Cubs haven’t played a World Series game since.
