MESA, Arizona — In a wide-ranging session with bloggers Monday afternoon, Cubs chairman Tom Ricketts revealed that the team is expecting the 2018-19 offseason to be the final year of Wrigley Field renovations.
He added that the park will look pretty much the same as it did last year, and things should be ready to go April 9, with the exception of some new added concession stands and restrooms — the latter, of course, always important.
Presuming this is true in terms of the major renovations being done by Opening Day 2019, that would keep the Cubs on the five-year plan they had originally set out, as the first shovels went in the ground in October 2014.
