CINCINNATI – The Cubs appear to have taken a step in strengthening their bid to host an All-Star at Wrigley Field game as soon as 2027.
Addressing safety concerns, which have long been a barrier in the team’s pursuit of an All-Star game, an ordinance introduced to the City Council by Wrigleyville Ald. Bennett Lawson (44th) on Wednesday would initiate the installation of anti-terrorism-rated removable bollards around Wrigley Field, as well as the widening of sidewalks along Addison Street.
The proposed plan would cost more than $30 million, shared by the state, the city and the team.
