The Case for Expansion

The Ricketts family invested $1 billion to restore and expand Wrigley Field and develop the surrounding area -- without taxpayer dollars.

The team is focused on creating every advantage possible to innovate, operate efficiently and grow its business to compete with the other 29 clubs trying to win a World Series trophy every year.

Whether it's adding signs or new rows of seats, every part of the expansion project was focused on strengthening the team, appealing to fans and providing additional revenue to help finance the construction project and put resources back onto the field.

This would allow the team to invest in the best talent, facilities, systems and technology.

That's critical for building a winning team.
