If you were following the timelines of intrepid Chicago reporters Danny Ecker and Fran Spielman, you’ll know that the city of Chicago’s License Committee just approved the new Wrigley Field plaza ordinance proposed by Rahm Emanuel last week. The Chicago Cubs, despite funding the renovations pretty much all by themselves, will have to accept the city’s terms for now.

The Cubs aren’t going to take this lying down, but there was at least some kind of compromise for night games, it seems:
Tweak to Wrigley plaza ordinance from last week: Hard stop on beer/wine sales at 11pm for night games, instead of just end of game.
