Cubs Propose New Gate for Wrigley Field

Change would require City Council approval

The Friendly Confines could soon have a new entrance.

There are plans for an elaborate west side gate at Wrigley Field that were not included in the original design application submitted last month, the Chicago Tribune reported Thursday.

The gate, reportedly to be positioned off a new plaza on Clark Street, would provide access to a pedestrian bridge to a new hotel.

It would mean, however, changing Wrigley's exterior walls, which are protected by a landmark ordinance. Any changes would need City Council approval.
