Fans in stands? Mayor Lori Lightfoot says she thinks Chicago Cubs, White Sox will host live spectators ‘sometime this season’

Good news, Chicago baseball fans: Mayor Lori Lightfoot said Tuesday that the Cubs and White Sox will be able to host fans this season.

But the mayor declined to offer a timeline on when, noting the city is “in discussions” with the city’s baseball teams and they’ll announce more details later.

“I think there will be a point, sometime this season, where you’ll see fans in the stands at both Wrigley and Guaranteed Rate Field, which I still call Sox Park,” Lightfoot said.

The mayor’s comments come as the city eased restrictions on indoor service at bars and restaurants and continues to reopen Chicago schools.
