Wrigley Upgrades Will Begin In July

The Chicago Cubs will break ground in July on long-awaited renovations to Wrigley Field.

The club expects the project to be completed by Opening Day 2016.

Cubs president Crane Kenney told the media Tuesday that the approximate cost of the project is now estimated to be $575 million, or $75 million more than initially planned. Much of the added expense involves the expansion of the home clubhouse.
