Cubs could get beer in plaza

The Chicago Cubs are proposing a new plan to unveil an outdoor plaza that will be connected to Wrigley Field that will allow them to sell alcohol (beer and wine) outside of the field itself.  This will add some competition to the local bars in the area of Wrigleyville. The proposal states that alcohol could be sold in the sports plaza directly adjacent to the stadium from 11:00am until midnight on weekends and until 11:00pm on weeknights. Sales would "be allowed during non game events like the concerts or ice skating programs the Cubs have talked about for the plaza to be built west of the park." The proposal also would "make it legal for fans to carry alcohol out of the ballpark and into the plaza, and into the park from the plaza.  Maybe this will help get some fans through some of those awful performances the Cubbies have.
