Wrigley Field As a Work in Progress-- Part 4: A Perpetual Work in Progress

Today there are many pointing out that Wrigley Field is a mess.  It is.  This past crummy Global Blah Blah Blah winter really set construction back.  But, Wrigley has been a mess before and it will be a mess for the next four years as different "improvements" continue.

According to Blair Kamin, Tribune Cityscapes: "Architecture is never frozen in time.  It is always evolving, perpetually subject to wind, the rain and our ever-shifting requirements and preferences..

"With Wrigley's latest features still under construction -- the big new left field video board is supposed to be ready for opening night, the left field bleachers are scheduled to be done by May 11 and their right field counterparts by Mid-June -- it remains to be seen whether this latest chapter in the Wrigley story is a tale of graceful evolution or something to regret."
