I’ve written about the outdated terms of the city of Chicago’s Wrigley Field night game ordinance many times, particularly the prohibition on Friday night games, here at BCB — so often, in fact, that I’ve now created a StoryStream containing all those articles dating back to July 2017.
What prompted me to write again on this topic was this excellent article by Anthony Castrovince at MLB.com detailing the Cubs’ drive for lights begun by Dallas Green when he took over as Cubs general manager when Tribune Company bought the team. Incidentally, if you’re not familiar with everything that happened regarding lights at Wrigley in the 1980s, it’s a really good read on the sequence of events.
