Opening Night at Wrigley Field is only a little more than two weeks away. As far as we know right now, come hell or high water, the Cubs will open there against the Cardinals on ESPN2.
The bleachers will not be ready, though the left field video board is expected to be in place for that game. It’s not there yet, though there have been some interesting efforts at show what it will look like:

Looks about right to me. It’s still hard to visualize completely without the bleachers in place, but you get the idea.
Speaking of those bleachers, here are a bunch of updates to the work being done there:

Needless to say the video board in left will be pretty large! #WrigleyField #WrigleyRenovations #Cubs pic.twitter.com/Otm6Z9C2fw
