Work will continue during the 2016 season on the new office building and plaza located in the old triangle parking lot, as well as a new western entrance to the ballpark.

According to the Cubs, the open-air plaza is intended to be enjoyed by the community year-round. Suggested uses have included hosting an ice rink in the winter, farmers markets in the summer and outdoor music events.

In January, Ald. Tom Tunney, 44th, introduced a proposal to set rules for the outdoor area, including ending events in the plaza at 9 p.m. on weeknights and 10 p.m. on weekends. The proposal also would allow beer and wine to be sold at the plaza, but alcohol sales would stop during games and concerts taking place inside Wrigley Field and would not resume until an hour after such events end. The Cubs have argued that the proposed time and alcohol rules are too restrictive.

The six-story office building at the north end of the plaza will house Cubs administrative offices and conference meeting spaces, as well as retail on the ground floor.
