I presume they found some way to make these renovations without shutting down the park for two seasons.

“A pending lawsuit looms over the project. Eight nearby rooftop owners are suing the city claiming the project violates their profit-sharing agreement with the team”

I would think this expansion would block the view of the roof top buildings across the street.

A cute ballpark. But if they are serious about a pennant, a dozen D-12 Cats are the solution.

The Chicago Cubs wasted zero time between the end of the baseball season last week and the start of construction.

Last week was the end of the official MLB season. They could have started at the end of the Cubs' season, which is typically mid-May.

Poor Cubs, the Cardinals have won more World Series (2) in their new stadium (erected in 1996) than the Cubs have won in Wrigley (erected in 1914).

One hopes the ballpark’s renovation proceeds more rapidly than the ballclub’s rebuilding, which is now at 106 years and counting.
