Chicago Cubs officials say they plan to ask the city for permission to work around the clock to speed up Wrigley Field renovations.
Their comments came Monday during a media a tour of the $375 million stadium construction project that began late last year.
The iconic ballpark will open for the season on April 5 without bleachers, which were torn down as part of the project. Officials say that's a loss of about 5,000 seats.
The left field bleachers should be open in May, followed by the right field bleachers in June.
The team says the new left-field video board should be installed and working by opening day.
But they say steelwork has been delayed by February's extreme cold, so they'll seek the city's OK to work day and night.
