Wrigley Field Brick Paver Update

David stopped by the ballpark yesterday and filed this report on the ongoing sidewalk construction, which ought to be finished well before Opening Day:

The bricks that have been laid down so far appear to be plain brick with no engraving on them. The special "paver bricks", or whatever the Cubs are calling them, will probably be placed around the "patio" area, just west of the Harry Caray statue.

On the Sheffield Ave. side, the new sidewalk bricks will obviously join up with the bricks installed on that sidewalk last year after the bleacher reconstruction. On the Addison St. side, the sidewalk is still torn up all the way to where it widens, behind Gate F.

Gate D, at Addison and Sheffield, around the Harry Caray statue; bricks stacked up on Sheffield; for construction fans, a closer view of the bricks, as seen on the Sheffield side; area just west of the Harry Caray statue, where the "patio" area begins.

Thanks for the pics
Hey thanks for the pics David.  Much appreciated.  I view this as one (admittedly small) step towards making the outside of Wrigley look as good as the inside.  With any luck, next off-season will feature the bricking of the facade in a few places.  Honestly, the first time I visited Wrigley my first reaction was dissapointment because of the asthetics of the exterior.  Fortunately, the interior more than delivered on my expectations and I've been making 10+ visits each season since...
MURTON!! Just trying to help his karma so he gets 500+ ABs.
