MLB News: Wrigley Field view set to undergo major change

Add to Favorite
Added to Favorite


The view beyond the outfield at Wrigley Field is about to undergo a major change after the Chicago City Council approved a plan to replace three buildings just beyond right field with a single five-story apartment building.

The three apartment buildings set to be torn down had their rooftop views blocked by a massive scoreboard that was installed just beyond the right-field wall in 2015. One of the buildings set for the wrecking ball had a sign that read “Eamus Catuli!” or “Let’s go Cubs!” in Latin.

“After months of hearing directly from residents and community members, I chose to support the proposed development on Sheffield Avenue and I was glad to see the development receive the full support of the City Council,” Alderman Bennett Lawson said in a statement to NBC Chicago.

“The area surrounding Wrigley Field holds so much significance for many people across our city, so I understand the emotion about the project.”

The new five-story apartment building will include 29 units and 11 parking spots.

The area in and around Wrigley Field has undergone major renovations since 2014. That includes the expansion of the famed bleachers and an expanded 30,000 square-foot clubhouse for the Cubs, a plaza area outside the ballpark on the left-field side, and a new six-story office complex to house team administrative offices.
