CHICAGO (AP) — Federal officials are investigating whether the Chicago Cubs’ ongoing $1 billion renovation of Wrigley Field provides adequate wheelchair access.
The Cubs have filed notice of the review in Chicago federal court, where the team is defending itself against a lawsuit filed by a wheelchair user who alleges the stadium’s seating doesn’t meet Americans with Disabilities Act standards.
The Chicago Tribune reports a team attorney said in a letter to the judge that the Cubs believe the renovation has “significantly increased” accessibility in the 105-year-old stadium.
