The Cubs are talking Wrigley Field, with plans to completely renovate the stadium moving full steam ahead.
The Chicago Cubs are planning to spend $300 million and five seasons to do a complete renovation of Wrigley Field, the team announced officially on Saturday. Expected to start this fall, Cubs President of Business Operations Crane Kenney presented the latest renderings during the 2013 Cubs Convention.
