Three century-old buildings across from Wrigley Field are on track to be demolished to make way for a five-story apartment building. These bleacher-blocked buildings, known for their iconic rooftop signs and bleachers overlooking the ballpark, were blocked a decade ago when the Cubs added massive outfield video boards. Despite protests from neighbors and a local group, the controversial demolition plan was approved by a City Hall committee. The full City Council will consider the plan in July.
