Let’s get right to it. Justin Laurence of Crain’s Chicago Business reported late Monday about the Cubs’ request for $30 million from the city of Chicago for security bollards around Wrigley Field:
The Chicago Cubs are talking with City Hall about how to fund $30 million in security enhancements surrounding Wrigley Field.
The Cubs have recently re-upped a longtime request to surround Wrigley with anti-terrorism-rated bollards to protect the Friendly Confines from vehicles gaining access to the perimeter of the stadium that, unlike ballparks that sit in a sea of parking lots, is surrounded by a dense neighborhood adjacent to busy streets.
