Video: See Wrigley Field Construction from the Air

Chicago videographer Colin Hinkle and his Soaring Badger Productions have produced another aerial video featuring an iconic scene — this time, it’s Wrigley Field and the ongoing construction project.

The Chicago Cubs home opener on April 5 will feature empty bleachers. But not because the fans of the Cubbies won’t turn out for the nationally televised game. Rather, the Wrigley Field improvements are way behind schedule. Left and center field bleachers will be ready by early May and right field bleachers could be ready by late May, according to the team.

Two Lake View businesses, Skybox on Sheffield and Lakeview Baseball Club, want to halt installation of advertising and video boards, major features of the construction project. They’ll be in court Monday, along with the Cubs, to present oral arguments in the federal lawsuit.

The Cubs want to have those signs and video boards ready by April 5, reports the Chicago Tribune.
