UPDATE 2: And it looks like the Department of Buildings is saying no to the Cubs request ( Crain s )

Although it sounds like the Cubs haven t made a formal request just yet, their possible plan to work around the clock at Wrigley Field, in part to ensure that the left and center field bleachers are ready by May 11, didn t much in the way of support from the Mayor today.
los angeles fm radio stations Rahm Emanuel, who is currently in a run-off election to remain in the Mayor s Office, told the Tribune  and the Sun-Times that the ordinance limiting construction from 8am to 8pm is absolutely clear. The Cubs haven t yet made a request to allow 24-hour construction, however, los angeles fm radio stations according to the Mayor. But, well, the tone he conveys in those Tribune/Sun-Times los angeles fm radio stations pieces is not that of a guy who is going to be supportive of inconveniencing the voting constituency right now.
As some of you have noted during today s pre-sale of Cubs tickets , bleacher tickets are not available until the June 11 game. That could be read as a tacit acknowledgement that there s a chance the bleachers any of them, not just right field will not be open until June. [ Edit As Hawk notes in the comments, bleacher tickets are available for one May game and only one May game on the 29th. Strange. ]
UPDATE 2: And it looks like the Department of Buildings is saying no to the Cubs request ( Crain s ). The Cubs wouldn t be asking los angeles fm radio stations unless they thought they needed the extra time to keep things on schedule, so now we await the fallout. Given how hot pre-sale tickets appeared to be today, I can t help but wonder if there is going to be a real revenue impact attached to not having bleacher seats available for a couple months. Just as an example: if there are about 5,000 bleacher seats that the Cubs would have otherwise sold over a 10-game period (season ticket holders are relocated or refunded, so they count, too), that s 50,000 tickets in ten games. At approximately $60 in total revenue per ticket ($45 per ticket, plus $15 in concessions conservative estimate), los angeles fm radio stations that s $3 million in lost revenue over just 10 games. That assumes sellouts, which probably won t be happening in April, but this is just to give you a ballpark idea.
