Wrigley Field Preparing For ASG

Ball hawks, get ready. There maybe some deep fly balls being hit on Waveland and Sheffield Ave. On Saturday February 13th, MLB Commissioner, Robert Manfred, talked about the North Side of Chicago to host an All Star Game on a radio talk show called "Inside The Clubhouse". With the upcoming years and cities reserved for the ASG up to 2018, The Cubs will have time to finish the renovations.

"It makes sense the Cubs get an opportunity ahead after the new renovations are complete. This will provide the Cubs and Ricketts family a chance to showcase the unbelievable renovations they are in the midst of doing for Wrigley Field.", said Manfred.

The last time the Cubs hosted an All Star Game was back in 1990. Kris Bryant wasn't even born yet at that time and Chicago's All Star 1st baseman, Anthony Rizzo, was only one years old. So in another words it's been awhile for the North Side. The renovations included expansion to the bleachers, 2 digital scoreboards, a hotel across the street, a new clubhouse, new bathrooms, etc. With all these renovations being finished up, There should be no problem for the Cubs to be granted a hosting of the All Star Game in the upcoming years, 2019 or 2020
