Wrigley Field Statues and Personalized Pavers

  • Some of the Wrigley Field statues were removed and transported to Michigan for restoration work.
  • The Ernie Banks and Ron Santo statues will be in place by Opening Night.
  • Harry Caray's statue will not be returning for the 2015 season as its location is still part of ongoing construction.
  • While some Wrigley Field personalized pavers have already been removed due to ongoing construction, some remain in the same location and will be accessible during the 2015 season.
  • It was determined the best long-term location for the pavers is outside the Budweiser Bleachers on Sheffield and Waveland avenues. The plan is to replace and relocate all personalized pavers following the 2015 season. New pavers should be in place by Opening Day of 2016. Original pavers will not be available for distribution. Specific locations will be communicated once design layouts are finalized.
