<P> With Tribune's sale of the Cubs (and Wrigley Field) to Thomas S. Ricketts in 2009, further improvements to the park were developed, including construction of the long - discussed "triangle building" immediately to the west of the park at the intersection of Clark Street and Waveland Avenue, which would house some of the team's offices as well as a retail concourse and weight room for the players . Ricketts has also stated, "We don't have any naming - rights discussions going on at all . I think Wrigley is the name we are going to go with ." </P> <P> In October 2014 demolition began on a 3 - year renovation project under the ownership of Ricketts . Bleacher expansion, a pair of Daktronics video boards in left and right field, respectively, and five outfield signs were slated to debut by Opening Day 2015, but were hampered by winter weather, and construction extended well into the 2015 season . Construction crews also laid the foundation for a 30,000 - square - foot underground clubhouse, which opened in time for the 2016 season . Other major changes, such as installing a new gate on the west side of the ballpark, relocating bullpens from along foul - lines to underneath the bleachers, and building a new visitor's clubhouse, are in the works for completion by 2017 . Additional significant renovations planned include: "bunker suites"--suites that would have no view of the field, but would instead lead to seating areas--beneath the concourse down the third - base line; restoration of the groundskeeper's house (which from 1923 to 1957 was the home of the stadium groundskeeper) along Waveland Avenue; some of the ramps to the upper deck to be replaced with stairs; new elevators to comply with Americans with Disabilities Act regulations; and additional signage on the grandstand facade, which could include a ribbon - style board . </P> <P> Construction of the video screens were controversial and met with resistance by some fans who oppose putting video screens at Wrigley in deference to tradition and is strenuously opposed by the rooftop owners association, owners of 15 rooftop clubs overlooking Wrigley who have a contract with the Cubs that runs through 2023 requiring them to pay the team 17 percent of their gross annual revenue . The association said the new signs would cut down their view of the ballpark and "would absolutely violate our 20 - year contract, just as they violate the spirit of Wrigley's long - standing landmark status ." Owners of the rooftop clubs sued the city in August 2014, seeking to block the expansion . However, many of the association owners have sold their properties to the Ricketts family, paving the way for the completion of the bleacher project . </P>
