Cubs Gain Narrow Senate Backing On Night Games In Wrigley
CHICAGO THE Chicago Cubs advanced in Springfield by winning Senate approval of a measure to allow up to 18 regular season night games at Wrigley Field by easing a state noise law. The plan, an amendment, still faces a second Senate vote and does not override Chicago’s city ordinance. Cubs president Dallas Green called the week’s talks frustrating as Cubs officials and C U B S group pressed for lighting rights amid a nine game losing streak. Nancy Kaszak of C U B S reiterated an offer for postseason lights only, which Green rejected.
