Cubs ready to welcome back bleacher fans

On their 31st game of the MLB season, the Cubs are ready for the return of their bleacher fans when they host the New York Mets at Wrigley Field tonight.

Construction has been completed on the expanded bleachers in left and center field, and fans will get their first chance to try them out at tonight's game. The right-field bleachers are scheduled to open on June 11.

Among the improvements to the 101-year-old ballpark, fans will notice new group spaces, improved concessions and additional space for fans to socialize and watch the game.
