Landmark Protection for Wrigley Field
RETURN
 After
more than two years of discussion with the Chicago Cubs baseball team, the city
of Chicago is proceeding with plans to designate Wrigley Field as a local
landmark. If approved, Wrigley Field would become the nation’s first
professional sports facility to be protected as a local landmark.
A
revised designation proposal was approved March 6, 2003 by the Commission
on Chicago Landmarks. A final vote by the Commission is expected early this
summer, after which time the proposal—if approved—will be sent to the City
Council for a final determination.
A proposal to
expand the bleacher seating of the 90-year-old ballpark was supported by LPCI in
2002 (CLICK
HERE FOR STORY), but it has not yet been
approved by the City Council, which has authority over construction over the
public right of way.
We encourage you
to email your support for this important designation to:
