The Chicago Planning Commission has approved plans by the Chicago Cubs to perform $300 million in renovations to the club's 99-year-old Wrigley Field and develop $200 million in hospitality, office and retail space on parcels surrounding the iconic structure. Chicago's city council is expected to approve project plans next week.
Renovations to Wrigley Field will be funded by doubling the amount of ballpark signage to 51,000 square feet, with plans calling for erection of a large video board, or jumbotron, in left field and a script sign in right field.
