More Night Games Possible for Wrigley Field

The Lake View Citizens Council is hoping for more home night games in an agreement with the Cubs

Chicago Cub fans, get ready to root on your favorite team under the Wrigley Field lights.

The Lake View Citizens Council is hoping for more home night games, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. Typical seasons include about 27 night games at the historic landmark, and the council would like to see it change to 30 with room for three more.

This long-term agreement would include the option to forfeit a night game in exchange for a night event or concert.

William DeMille, vice president of the Lake View Citizens Council, told the Sun-Times the set-up would allow for better planning of events ahead of time and create more communication with traffic control to benefit all parties involved.

The neighborhood would receive up to $200,000 from the Cubs per season to attend to projects including better tow zone displays, additional traffic lanes, and drop-off and loading areas, the Sun-Times reports.

Cubs spokesman Julian Green told the paper night events are part of the solution to preserving Wrigley Field and its economic benefits to both the city and state.
