Wrigley Field Construction Update: May 1

Exterior walls and gates are now going up quickly outside the bleachers.

BCB's David Sameshima visited Wrigley Field during Friday's game and got some photos not only of the construction progress, but of activity around the park during the game. Here's his report.

I arrived after 3:00 p.m., when the game was in the seventh inning. I saw the football inflating station outside the Cubs Store. I had heard that the Cubs were going to give away promotional footballs that were deflated so they would not be thrown onto the field.There were lots of Chicago Fire Department trucks and engines parked around the ballpark.
