Cubs get OK to move wall behind home plate

(MCT) — The Chicago Cubs got a green light to move a brick wall at Wrigley Field three feet closer to home plate to add an additional row of 56 seats for the 2013 season.

The Commission on Chicago Landmarks's permit review committee approved the plans Thursday by a 5-1 vote.   A portion of the wall will be movable, allowing the field to be used for other types of sports.
