Council approves landmark status-Features of Wrigley Field included in proposal
CHICAGO -- A Chicago city council committee Tuesday unanimously recommended landmark status for certain features of Wrigley Field.

The council's Committee on Historical Landmarks and Preservation did not issue blanket landmark designation for the 90-year-old ballpark, according to City News Service. Instead, the committee endorsed a proposal to grant landmark status to Wrigley Field's four exterior walls and roofs, the marquee sign at the corner of Clark and Addison streets, the center field scoreboard, the grandstands and bleachers, and the brick wall and ivy surrounding the playing field.
