Wrigley Renovations

Cubs executives spoke publicly yesterday about the blecher renovations at Wrigley Field:

McGuire said 253 stadium seats with backs on them will be built in the far right-field bleachers and sold on a reserved basis as "bleacher box seats." McGuire said the seats are targeted toward "aging Baby Boomers who want the bleacher experience but can't handle the bench seats, or maybe some of the language they might hear." Like the premium "dugout box seats" behind home plate and the "bullpen boxes" between the visitors' dugout and bullpen, the new "bleacher boxes" will be sold separately from the individual seats, which go on sale Feb. 24. No date was given, but Maloney said it's expected to be sometime in March. No price was given, but they're expected to cost significantly more than a regular bleacher ticket.

I guess the fans buying these seats will be known as the "bleacher swells."
