Kaplan: Judge dismisses rooftops' lawsuit against Cubs
The Chicago Cubs scored a major victory Wednesday in their decade-long battle with the Wrigley rooftop owners when a federal judge dismissed a lawsuit brought against the team by two of the rooftop owners. U.S. District Judge Virginia Kendall dismissed all nine counts in the suit filed in January by the Skybox on Sheffield and the Lakeview Baseball Club.
Kendall ruled in favor of the Cubs based on the word expansion in the original contract between the Cubs and the rooftop owners. Kendall also agreed with the team that the renovation of the bleachers and the addition of the scoreboards constituted an expansion, which was allowed in the contract.
