Cubs fans’ personalized bricks show up in landfill due to Wrigley renovation

have shown up in a landfill as an apparently inadvertent consequence of the renovation historic ballpark, Pontiac Daily Leader reports.

Fans reportedly typically paid around $160 to have their loyalty to the team memorialized on brick pavers beginning in 2006 that the team indicated would be “permanent fixtures” outside of Wrigley Field.

Carrie Muskat, a Cubs blogger for MLB.com, published a letter mailed to fans last November from Wrigley Field Paver Program that assured them the bricks would be preserved.

“We are taking great care to preserve and protect your paver as work continues in and around the ballpark,” the Wrigley Field Paver Program letter said.
