The Chicago Cubs said Tuesday that work on Wrigley Field's bleachers remains on track and that the field will be ready for their home opener on Sunday.

"We're going to be ready for baseball April 5th," said Cubs spokesperson Julian Green. 

Officials said the left field video board will make its baseball debut Sunday along with a Budweiser sign in right field, which is expected to eventually be moved above a right field video board. 

Green said work on the field's bleachers is expected to wrap up later this year, with the left field  bleachers slated to open in May and right field bleachers by mid-June. 

As for season ticket holders in those sections, Green said they have temporarily been relocated into the grand stands while work continues.

"Given April baseball, not a lot of people coming to the ballpark, school is still in session, it's still kind of cold outside and so we have more than enough space to accommodate those season tickets holders," he said.

Another concern for the ballpark on opening day is parking. 

Besides Waveland being shut down to all traffic and Clark Street down to just one lane in each direction, parking lots have also been reduced because of the construction. 

"We’re encouraging public transportation, riding a bike, taking taxis, that’s the best way to get to the ballpark," Green said. "It’s always been the best way to get to the ballpark."

The construction update comes after Chicago Cubs Chairman Tom Ricketts told reporters the renovation of the 101-year-old ballpark could take an extra year to complete.

The project began this offseason with a complete overhaul of the bleachers to help pave the way for two video boards and new advertising signage in the outfield. An unusually early start to winter put the Cubs behind the eight-ball on the project.

The opening night game wil take place on April 5 against the St. Louis Cardinals and will be nationally televised even with the unfinished bleachers as a backdrop.
