ESPN.com notes cup snakes at baseball games are "bringing fans back together." The enthusiasm for beer cup snakes "represents a step in the return toward normalcy after a year of quarantine, when empty ballparks served as a constant reminder of the pandemic's effect." The trend in baseball "started in mid-June, when Chicago opened its restaurants, bars and baseball stadiums back up to full capacity." During the first game packed with fans at Wrigley Field, on June 14, Cubs fans "created a beer snake" that "spanned more than 100 feet, totaling nearly 2,400 cups."
