CHICAGO (WLS) -- The Chicago Cubs will host a viewing event for the funeral service of Ryne Sandberg next week.



Cubs legend Ryne Sandberg died after a battle with cancer.

Sandberg's funeral will be held on Friday, Aug. 22, the Cubs said.

A viewing of the services will be held at Gallagher Way from 9:30 a.m. to noon.



Fans will be able to pay their respects and view the private funeral service on the video board.

"We hope this public tribute provides everyone touched by Ryne's incredible talent as a player and person an opportunity to honor his legacy and pay their respects," Cubs President of Business Operation Crane Kenney said.

The event is free, and tickets are not required to attend.

In lieu of flowers, the Sandberg family is asking fans to take nonperishable food items to donate to Nourishing Hope and Most Blesses Trinity Food Pantry.
