Portrait Of Wrigley Field On A Random January Saturday
So here I sit, racking my brains for new material while we are waiting for the Bears to win the Super Bowl and then for pitchers and catchers to report...
... and what drops into my inbox but some ballpark photos, taken by intrepid BCB photographer David this afternoon. They've begun ripping up the sidewalk at the corner of Addison & Sheffield to begin installing the personalized brick pavers. David also snapped a photo on Waveland, where they've put in some bricks near gates J & K. This work doesn't appear to be finished -- and I wish they'd go ahead and get rid of those ugly concrete slabs.
Three views of the brick paver area; view of the north wall of the park on Waveland, looking east. You can also see the covered-up CF bleachers in this shot; they are replacing the wood/fiberglass benches in CF.

concrete slabs
What exactly are they doing in the left field corner, do we know anything other than what is shown in the last picture?

I think...
I cannot figure out what they're doing in the LF corner. The brickwork is new, and clearly, something is going in behind those wooden boards -- those are new holes cut in the doors. But what it is, I have no idea.

Are you sure
There was an article on cubs.com or the trib recently that said the covered area in CF was simply a shelter for workers, and that no work was actually being done up there.
