Wrigley Field Changes OK'd By Commission of Chicago Landmarks

From the April 18, 2013, Chicago Tribune.

Most of these were in the nature of making more money.

BLEACHER SITTING

March 2005: The commission approves a plan to move Wrigley's walls out about eight feet to add 1,790 bleacher seats.  (And these seats aren't cheap like back in the good old days.)

Also approved is a plan to develop a five-story building with commercial space and a parking garage on a parcel adjacent to the ballpark.  The Cubs later scrap the building and parking garage in favor of an open-air plaza and office building.


ADVERTISING SIGN 

May 2010:  Approves a 360-square-foot illuminated Toyota sign in left field.


BRICK WALL

October 2012:  Commission approves a plan to move brick wall three feet closer to home plate, allowing 56 prime (meaning really, really expensive) box seats to be installed.
