If it feels as though Wrigley Field has been perpetually under construction for the last few seasons, that’s because it pretty much has been. Some of the changes from the 1060 Project — new video boards and signage, removal of on-field bullpens — have been glaringly obvious, while others — new concrete and seats, refurbished wrought iron — haven’t been quite as eye-catching. But all have taken a lot of time and even more money to complete.
But as the 2019 season opens, the long-running renovation and enhancement initiative will finally start to wind down.
