Tom Ricketts talks about the Wrigley renovation budget and other financials

Cubs Chairman Tom Ricketts had a long sit-down interview Thursday with beat reporters, including Patrick Mooney of The Athletic, who wrote up a long, detailed summary of what the Cubs owner talked about.

What caught my eye was this portion about the Wrigley Field renovations:

At a Sports Business Journal conference last month, Ricketts delivered this money quote about the Wrigley Field renovations: “We probably missed our budget by around 100 percent.”

Ricketts clarified that comment, saying it was “kind of in jest” and unrelated to the team’s quiet offseason.
