Hey, remember that time the Cubs won the World Series for the first time in over a century? A Rockford country club is trying to keep the celebratory spirit alive, in the form of a 400-pound gingerbread Wrigley Field.

The sportsball take on the classic gingerbread house was constructed by Gerald Madero, a chef at the Forest Hills Country Club in Rockford, Illinois. It's serving as the gingerbread display this year at the club's annual holiday brunch, which features ballplayers made of LEGOs and a very un-CTA-like train track running around its perimeter.

Madero told WREX that it will be on display until after Christmas.
