That’s a potential scenario at Guaranteed Rate Field and Wrigley Field, as Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot said Monday she could envision the White Sox and Cubs playing home games this year with one caveat.
Lightfoot, a Sox fan, has been at the forefront of the city’s “stay-at-home” policy in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. That statewide order has been extended through May 30.
Lightfoot said a decision on whether professional sports will return would be made “at the major-league level” but said she could see baseball being played this summer.
Major League Baseball is determined to play at least a semblance of a regular season after suspending spring training March 12 and postponing the start of the season.
