Changes coming to Wrigley

CHICAGO – Fans should expect a noticeable change to Wrigley Field’s right field come Opening Day.

President of business operations Crane Kenney revealed the creation of the Budweiser Patio to the section known as Budweiser Bleachers located in the well along the right field foul pole. A 75-foot LED scoreboard also will be added directly above the ivy. The scoreboard likely won’t include replays, Kenney said, but will display pitch count and statistics.

“I think one thing we see and hear from our fans is, if you go to other parks it’ll tell you not only that the pitch was 92 miles per hour but that it was a slider or a fastball,” Kenney said. “People want more information in the park, and with the hand-operated scoreboard and the LED beneath it, this is a chance to get more information to fans.”
