CHICAGO -- The famous Wrigley Field marquee was missing on Tuesday. The sign, first installed in 1934, was removed on Monday as part of the renovation and restoration work at the Cubs' ballpark.
This offseason is the second phase in the team's $575 million ballpark renovation plan. Because the plan includes structural work in the concourse area near the main gate at Clark St. and Addison St., where the marquee was located, the sign was removed. The work includes improving the ticket office near the Clark and Addison entrance.
Cubs officials said the marquee will return in time for Opening Day, which is April 11 against the Reds.
