Wrigley being transformed into hockey arena
With the Hockey Winter Classic coming soon to Wrigley Field, crews are busy transforming the ballpark into a hockey venue. This past week the boards and glass arrived at Wrigley with Bobby Hull at the wheel of one truck. The boards are up and officials hoped to lay down the ice either yesterday or today, if snow could be removed. The rink itself is not quite where artist’s renderings have it. Good news for some of us who have tickets in the lower box seats! It was quite a sight, I’m told, on Tuesday to see the lights on at Wrigley around 5pm and snow falling all around.
The Winter Classic will take place Jan. 1 between the Blackhawks and Red Wings.
