Cubs present city, MLB with safety protocols for up to 7,000 fans in Wrigley stands

The Chicago Cubs have devised strict protocols they believe would allow 6,000 to 7,000 fans to safely attend games at Wrigley Field midway through this pandemic-shortened season — in groups of two, four and six and with designated gates and staggered entry and exit windows.

Crane Kenney, president of business operations for the Cubs, said the plan has been presented to the city and Major League Baseball and needs approval from both.

The Cubs are eager to test it — not so much for the sorely-needed revenue, but to “see how the ballpark operates with those rules,” he said.
