Cubs ask judge to deny request to stop Wrigley Field work

CHICAGO (AP) - The Chicago Cubs have asked a judge to deny a request from two rooftop bars looking to stop the team from putting up a video scoreboard and advertising signs at Wrigley Field.

The rooftop owners last week asked for the restraining order, saying a lawsuit they filed against the team's owners will take too long to go to trial before renovations at the historic baseball stadium are complete. The Chicago Tribune reports (http://trib.in/1A37ZPT ) the Cubs on Tuesday said in court papers that the bars haven't provided evidence they will "suffer any harm." The rooftops say the signs will block their Wrigley views.

The Cubs also say there's no immediate threat because the team's first home game isn't until April 5.

Work at Wrigley would add two video scoreboards and four advertising signs.
