Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot said Tuesday that Wrigley Field and Guaranteed Rate Field will be allowed to host fans this season, though she declined to provide any specifics and said the city is still in discussions with the Cubs and White Sox. As Cubs Insider has learned from a source with knowledge of the situation, however, the mayor is not expected to allow fans to attend games on Opening Day as had previously been reported.
The Cubs open the season on April 1 at Wrigley against the Pirates and the White Sox play their first home game on April 8 against the Royals, but both may be doing so in empty stadiums.
