For Alan Ruck, filming a pivotal scene in Ferris Bueller's Day Off at Wrigley Field was "like coming home."

The 1986 film follows Ferris, played by Matthew Broderick, as he and his friend Cameron Frye (played by Ruck) embark on an epic high school skip day, ditching class to spend time in downtown Chicago.

In an interview with MLB.com, Ruck detailed how the scene was shot during a real Cubs game in September 1985. "They had us in the morning and we did the close-ups first of just Matthew and I and the people around us who are all extras," Ruck told the outlet.

Ruck, who attended the University of Illinois in nearby Champaign, said the scene imitated life in some ways. "I had gone to many baseball games as a Chicagoan, as a Cubbies fan, going out to the bleachers, eating Smovies and drinking too much beer," Ruck told the outlet.

Fans have deduced that the scene wasn't actually filmed during the Cubs' June 5, 1984 game, but instead during the Cubs' Sept. 24, 1985 game against the Montreal Expos. Ruck isn't surprised that fans were able to narrow down when the scene was shot.
