The 2020 season is rapidly approaching and yet another Cubs Convention has come and gone. Every year, the organization addresses a myriad of topics at the event – and this year was no different. While Marquee Sports Network garnered most of the headlines, another important change is coming to Wrigley Field.
Chicago Cubs president of business operations Crane Kenney announced that netting at Wrigley Field is going to be expanded past each of the team’s respective dugouts up to the “elbows” of the outfield wall.
In simpler terms, this means that the netting will stretch past each of the dugouts and will stop before the walls in both the left field corner and the right field corner respectively.
